Positioning the Breeze Pro Sensor

For Accurate Measurements

• Ensure the sensor is mounted level with the Solar Panel facing directly to the south. This will help optimize battery life and transmit correct wind direction readings.
• Ideally, the Breeze Pro Sensor should be mounted on the tallest object in your area. Avoid positioning the sensor in line or below eaves, rooflines, trees, or other objects that may obstruct wind readings.
• Make sure all screws on the Mounting Bracket, Winds Cups, and Wind Vane, are securely fastened.
• The sensor should be mounted with the Wind Cups on top.

Included Mounting Accessories

Basic Installation Options

Fence posts, poles, decks, and even mailboxes are all 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 perspective. However, because wind in these spots is often affected by obstructions, the readings may differ compared to local reporting station.

Basic Assembly

1. A. Mount the Adjustable Base onto a flat surface using the provided four long screws.
2. B. Secure the Pole Adapter to a cylindrical conduit using the provided two small screws.
3. Insert the Mast into the Breeze Pro Sensor and tighten the provided screws on the sides.
4. Use the Hand Screw to attach the Mast to either the Adjustable Base or Pole Adapter. Ensure the sensor is level, facing south, and securely fastened at all mounting points.

Advanced Installation Options

Some advanced installation options include tripods, wall mounts, eave cross mounts, chimney mounts, and many others. Any of these can be combined with U-bolts for attachment onto a tall cylindrical conduit using our Adjustable Base. Please note that these advanced options will require additional equipment and possibly professional help for best results.
