4.1 Siting Considerations
1. Mount the sensor so that no shadow will be cast on it at any time of day
from obstructions such as trees, buildings, the mast, or structure on which
it is mounted (1 in FIGURE 4-1).
2. To avoid shading effects and to promote spatial averaging, the NR-LITE2
should be mounted at least 1.5 m above the ground surface. It is
recommended that the NR-LITE2 be mounted to a separate vertical pipe at
least 25 ft from any other mounting structures (2 in FIGURE 4-1).
3. Orient the sensor towards the nearest pole to avoid potential problems
from shading (3 in FIGURE 4-1).
