    MOUNTING THE SENSOR Important Notes: On the edge of wind direction sensor, there are four alphabet letter of ―N‖,‖E‖,‖S‖ and ―W‖ representing the directions North, East, South and West. Wind direction sensor has to be adjusted so that the directions on the sensor are matched with your real location. Permanent wind direction error will be introduced when the wind direction sensor is not orientated correctly during installation.
  • Page 10: Positioning

    POSITIONING Once you have verified that all of the components of the weather station are working, they can be positioned in their permanent places. Before permanently mounting, make sure that all components work properly together at their chosen mounting or standing locations. If for example there appears to be problems with the 433 MHz radio transmission, it can generally be overcome by moving the mounting locations.
