WIND SPEED
• Ensure the sensor is mounted vertically  an unobstructed rooftop is ideal.
• Your wind sensor should be the tallest object in the area to avoid reduced wind speed values.
QUICK MOUNTING TIPS
THERMO-HYGRO
• Keep out of direct sunlight and ensure the sensor is well-ventilated.
• We recommend mounting it on a north-facing wall under an eave or deck for best results.
