3.3 Selecting the Mounting Location
• The mounting location must not be sheltered from the wind or in the lee of objects such as
chimneys or satellite systems.
• The anemometer must be mounted in an upright position; otherwise, water can enter the
anemometer and destroy it.
• If possible, install the anemometer in the center of flat roofs. Installing the anemometer at the
edge of the roof may cause air turbulence that may distort the measuring results.
• Observe the pre-configured cable length of 3 m. The cable may be cut or extended to a
maximum of 30 m.
