Orion LX Weather Station - Installing the Mast; Location

32 Orion LX Weather Station
____________________________________________________________________
Installing the Mast
The sensor transmitter measures wind speeds of up to 115 mph (60
m/s). However, unless the mast is properly mounted to withstand such
high winds, this capability is useless. Please read these instructions
carefully to insure a safe and reliable installation. Mounting the mast and
the sensor transmitter should be comparable in scope to installing a TV
antenna.
There are three acceptable methods for mounting the mast to a roof or
building structure: Sloped roof mounting, flat roof mounting or wall
mounting. See Optional Sensor Mounting Hardware for more
information.
Location
Do not attach the sensor transmitter to a chimney or a TV or radio
transmitting mast or tower.
Select a mounting location that will allow the sensor cable to be routed
away from TV antenna cables and other data cables to avoid
interference.
Do not mount sensors close to power lines or telephone lines. For
normal roof mounting, the recommended minimum distance from power
or telephone lines is 25 ft. (8 m). Use extreme caution when working
close to power lines
Never route sensor cables in tall trees.
