STEP 3: Mounting Basics
At this time, all of your sensor information should be displayed on your station.
Here are a few quick tips for mounting your sensors:
THERMO-HYGRO
Keep out of direct sunlight & ensure the sensor is well-ventilated.
• We recommend mounting under a deck or eave facing north.
WIND SPEED
Ensure the sensor is mounted vertically – an unobstructed rooftop is ideal.
• Your wind sensor should be the tallest object in the area to avoid any obstructions.
RAIN
Mount in an open area, preferably o the ground on a level platform.
• Clean out the bucket regularly to avoid debris; this can aect readings.
