Distance from surrounding elements
To ensure that the LI-710 measures a representative area-of-interest, install it above
or as far as possible from large obstructions that affect the flow of wind, such as
buildings or large solitary trees. Small elements, such as instruments on a weather
station, are not problematic, although you should allow clearance of two meters or
more, if possible.
Caution: If deploying the LI-710 near a cellular antenna, position the antenna at
least two meters away from the LI-710 to reduce the risk of electromagnetic inter-
ference.
Figure 2-3. The sensor should be at least 2 meters above a uniform canopy for an area-of-
interest of 100 to 200 meters around the device.
Figure 2-4. Where the LI-710 cannot be deployed in an area-of-interest, it can be positioned
at the edge on the downwind side. At a height of 2 meters above the canopy, assume a 100
to 200 meter area-of-interest in the upwind direction.
