Finally, place the sensor package on top of the prepared
mounting pipe. The U-Bolts should be loose enough to
allow this but loosen the nuts as necessary. Once
placed, hand tighten all four nuts, taking care to do so
evenly. Do not use a wrench yet!
Now you will need to align the whole package in the
proper direction by rotating it on top of the mounting
pipe as needed. Locate the arrow labeled “NORTH”
that you will find on top of the connector tube of the
sensor package (item 6). You must rotate the whole
sensor package until this arrow points due north. To
achieve proper alignment, it is helpful to use a compass
(many cell phones have a compass application). Once
rotated in the correct orientation, lightly tighten the
bolts a little more (use a wrench) to prevent further
rotation.
Note: In Southern hemisphere, it is not necessary to
change the orientation to SOUTH as its solar
panel is a rounded type and it is orientation free
for its charging capability.
Make sure the mounting tube for the sensor package is
installed vertically (use a level at 90-degree offsets
around the tube). Adjust the mounting pipe as
necessary. Next also make sure the mounting of the
anemometer body on the pipe is level. If it is not, wind
direction and speed readings may not operate correctly
