2. Installing device
2.1 Select the installation
height.
The recommended
installation height is
2 ... 5 meters (6 ... 16 ft).
Low installation height
is more representative
of the temperature and
relative humidity near
the road surface.
For the surface temperature measurement, select the
installation height so that you can aim the sensor at
the desired measurement point (max. tilt angle 60°).
Note! A large tilt angle may extend the surface
temperature measurement area outside the desired
measurement point.
2.2 Fasten the mounting
bracket. Cut o excess
steel band or place it
neatly into the bracket.
2.3 Use the locking key
to lift and secure the
device to the bracket.
Remove the locking key.
