4 Mounting the Device
4.1 Mounting the anemometer on a mast
1. Determine the mounting position taking into
consideration the requirements of the mounting
location.
2. Attach the mounting angle using the enclosed
clamp at the top end of the mast (see ➀ ).
3. Place anemometer with the screws in the wide
recesses of the mounting angle (see ➁ ) and rotate
the anemometer up to the end of the narrow recess
(see ➂ ).
4. Tighten the screws below the anemometer.
5. Attach cables closely to the mast using cable ties or
similar attaching material.
☑ The anemometer is mounted.
4.2 Mounting the anemometer on a wall
4.2.1 Wall Mounting with Mounting Angle
1. Determine the mounting position taking into
consideration the requirements of the mounting
location.
2. Attach the mounting angle on the lateral end of the
wall using screws and screw anchors (see ➀ ).
3. Place the anemometer including screws into the
wide recesses of the mounting angle (see ➁ ) and
rotate the anemometer to the end of the narrow
recesses (see ➂ ).
4. Tighten the screws below the anemometer.
5. Lay cables on the wall.
☑ The anemometer is mounted.
If the anemometer is mounted directly on the wall, turbulence may occur, which reduces
the precision of measurements.
We recommend using a wall mounting bracket for wall mounting (see chapter4.2.2 ”Wall
Mounting with Wall Mounting Bracket” (page 9)). The wall mounting bracket enlarges the
distance to the wall and avoids turbulence. The accuracy of measurements is increased.
