CHAPTER 4
INSTALLATION
This chapter provides you with information that is intended to help you
install Weather Transmitter WXT510.
Unpacking Instructions
Weather Transmitter WXT510 comes in a custom shipping container.
Be careful when removing the device from the container.
Selecting Location
Finding a suitable site for Weather Transmitter WXT510 is important
for getting representative ambient measurements. The site should
represent the general area of interest.
Weather Transmitter WXT510 should be installed in a location that is
free from turbulence caused by nearby objects, such as trees or
buildings.
CAUTION Beware of damaging any of the wind transducers located at the top of
the three antennas. Dropping the device can break or damage the
transducers. If the antenna bends or twists, re-aligning can be difficult
or impossible.
WARNING To protect personnel (and the device), a lightning rod should be
installed with the tip at least one meter above WXT510. The rod must
be properly grounded, compliant with all applicable local safety
regulations.
