and adjustments easier and avoids any distance or interference related issues
from the setup.
After setup is complete and everything is working, return here for outdoor
mounting. If issues show up after outdoor mounting they are almost certainly
related to distance, obstacles etc.
4.1.5.2 Mounting
Your package includes two U-Bolts, 4 nuts, and a metal mounting plate for
the U-Bolts, in addition to a small section of metal pipe. You can attach this
section of pipe to a permanent structure and then attach the sensor package to
it (see Figure 10), or you can use a longer section of pipe if that works better
for getting the sensor package in the desired location. The U-Bolts will
accommodate a pipe diameter of 1-2 inches.
Figure 10: Sensor package mounting diagram
The mounting plate will slide into a slot on the bottom of the sensor package
and then you can provisionally insert the U-Bolts from the other side through
the holes provided holes. Next place a nut on each of the four ends of the
U-Bolts and tighten by hand several turns so they will not fall off.
Next prepare the mounting pipe in the desired location and make sure it is
vertical, or very close to it. Use a level if needed.
