2.3.4 Bird Kit
Figure 12 Bird Kit
The optional bir
d kit reduces the interference that birds cause to the wind and rain
measurement.
The kit consists of a metallic band with spikes pointing upward. The kit is installed on top of
the transmitter. The shape and location of the spikes has been designed so that the
interference with wind and rain measurement is minimal.

The spik
es do not hurt the birds; they are simply a barrier that makes it dicult for birds to
land on top of the tr
ansmitter. The bird spike kit does not provide complete protection
against birds, but it does render the transmitter unsuitable for roosting and nest building.
