Wind Vane. and Battery Compartment 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 stations.

Basic Assembly

• 1A: Mount the Adjustable Base onto a flat surface using the provided four long screws.
• 1B:Secure the Pole Adapter to a cyindrical conduit using the provided two small screws 2 Insert the Mast into the Breeze Pro Sensor and tighten the provided screws on the sides.
• 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.
