Sensor Mounting
•Ideally, the sensor should be mounted on the tallest object in your
area. Avoid positioning it parallel or below eaves, rooflines, trees, or
other objects that may obstruct wind readings.
•Make sure all the screws on the Mounting Bracket, Wind Cups, and
Battery compartment are securely fastened.
•The sensor should be mounted with the Wind Cups on top.
•To optimize battery life, ensure the Solar Panel is facing the sun. The
Solar Panel alone will not operate the sensor, batteries are required.
•The maximum wireless transmission range to the station is up to 330ft
(100m) in open air. This does not include walls, floors, or other large
obstructions.
•For more information visit: bit.ly/wind_sensor_mounting
For Accurate Temperature/Humidity Measurements
For Accurate Glide Sensor Measurements
•Insert a mounting screw through the hole at the top to securely mount
the sensor. It can also hang from the back using a nail.
•Mount the sensor vertically in a protected well-shaded area. Keeping
it out of direct weather elements such as sunlight, rain, snow, etc. will
help avoid inaccurate readings.
•For additional protection against weather elements, a Sensor Weather
Shield: bit.ly/weather-shield can be purchased separately.
•The maximum wireless transmission range to the station is up to 330ft
(100m) in open air. This does not include walls, floors, or other large
obstructions.
•For online video instructions, visit: bit.ly/th_sensor_mounting

Glide Sensor Mounting
Fence posts, poles, decks, and mailboxes are common mounting options due to their
convenience. Many users prefer these types of locations as the data they provide is accurate
from their ground level. However, because the wind in these spots is often aected by
obstructions, the readings may dier when compared to local reporting stations.
Basic Installation
Mount the Mast to a flat surface
with the four provided screws.
Place the Sensor on top of the
Mast. Ensure the Solar Panel is
facing the sun.
Secure the Sensor to the Mast by
tightening the screws on the side.
1. 2. 3.
Flexible Installation
Remove the Small Insert from the bracket and
install the Short Arm with the Hand Screw in its
place. Then secure the sensor to the Mast by
tightening the screws on the side (step 3 above).
Be sure no to lose the washer on the Hand Screw.
This configuration allows you to attach the sensor
to angled locations and easily make adjustments to
ensure the Mast and Sensor are level.
