Now you will need to align the whole package in the
proper direction by rotating it on top of the mounting
pipe as needed. Locate the arrow labeled “NORTH”
that you will find on top of the connector tube of the
sensor package (item 6). You must rotate the whole
sensor package until this arrow points due north. To
achieve proper alignment, it is helpful to use a
compass (many cell phones have a compass
application). Once rotated in the correct orientation,
lightly tighten the bolts a little more (use a wrench) to
prevent further rotation.
Note: In Southern hemisphere, it is not necessary to
change the orientation to SOUTH as its solar
panel is a rounded type and it is orientation
free for its charging capability.
Make sure the mounting tube for the sensor package is
installed vertically (use a level at 90-degree offsets
around the tube). Adjust the mounting pipe as
necessary. Next also make sure the mounting of the
anemometer body on the pipe is level. If it is not,
wind direction and speed readings may not operate
correctly or accurately. Adjust the mounting assembly
as necessary.
Make sure you check, and correct if necessary, the
north orientation again, as the final installation step,
and now tighten the bolts with a wrench. Do not over
