• To mount on a smaller pole, obtain a U-bolt that fits the base openings but that

has a shorter threaded section.

1. Place the U-bolt around the pole so that its two ends extend through the holes

in the mounting base. Loosely secure with the flat washers, lock washers and
hex nuts.

2. Raise the anemometer to the desired height on the pole and swivel it so the

anemometer arm is pointing north.

3. Using an adjustable wrench or 7/16" wrench, tighten the hex nuts until the

anemometer is firmly fastened on the pole.

Securing the Cable

To prevent fraying or cutting the anemometer cable
where it is exposed to weather, secure it so it doesn’t
whip about in the wind. Use cable clips or weather
resistant cable ties to secure the cable. Place clips or
ties approximately every 3 to 5 feet (1 to 1.6 m).

Note: Do not use metal staples to secure cables. Metal staples can cut the cables.
