Mount the New Anemometer
Refer to the manufacturer’s directions to mount the new anemometer.
However, keep the following factors in mind as you choose a location for your
anemometer and the interface shelter:
• Mount the anemometer at least 4ʹ (1.2 m) above the roofline for accurate wind
readings.
• Mount the interface shelter nearby, with the solar panel facing the sun. In the
Northern Hemisphere, position the transmitter shelter with solar panel facing
south for maximum sun exposure. (In the Southern Hemisphere, position the
shelter with solar panel facing north.)
