terminals. The intended location for the wind transducer must:
• Be as high as possible and away from any equipment which may
shield the transducer or otherwise disturb the air flow.

otherwise suitable but not horizontal, make up a suitable wedged
packing piece to provide the necessary horizontal surface.
