3-in-1 Sensor Installation Guidelines
INSTALLATION HEIGHT Mount the sensor at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) off the ground
(higher is better for wind measurement) in an open area. Secure to fence post, 2’x4’
wood, 3/4” pole, etc. (not included)
LEVEL INSTALLATION Use a bubble level (not included) to ensure level installation for
accurate wind measurement.
Top or Side Mount
1. Insert the mounting base into the
hole on the bottom of the sensor.
2. Use one of the screws included
in the hardware bag to fasten
the lower sensor housing to the
mounting base.
3. Make sure the sensor is level using
a bubble level.
4. Fasten mounting base to a post or
railing using 2 screws.
Pole Mount
1. Insert pole (we recommend 3/4” schedule
40 PVC / 25.8 mm O.D., not included)
or similar item all the way into the hole on
the bottom of the sensor. Note: Mounting
base is not used.
2. Use one of the screws included in the
hardware bag to fasten the lower sensor
housing securely to the pole.
3. Make sure the sensor is level using a
bubble level.
The 3-in-1 sensor is now ready to use.
Basic Setup is Complete
The 3-in-1 sensor will now synchronize with the display unit. It may take a few
minutes for synchronization to complete. If both or one of the units appear to be
functioning improperly, please refer to the troubleshooting section.
