Golden Rules of Installation

• The mini-weather station is recommended to be
  installed in an open area that is level and clear
  of trees, buildings or any other obstructions in
  order to obtain optimum result. It should also be
  kept away from direct influencing heat sources
  such as air-con compressor exhaust from waiting
  vehicles.
• DO NOT place the mini-weather station near
  falling rocks, dying/dead trees, or objects that
  could fall onto the mini-weather station.
• If the mini-weather station is to be installed
  inside a fence to discourage vandalism, the top
  of the fencing should be lower than the wind
  sensors.
• DO NOT install the mini-weather station on
  television antenna. Most television antenna are
  not designed for heavy wind loads. The surface
  area of the mini-weather station may create a
  significant wind load during high wind and damage
  the TV antenna.

Golden Rules of Installation

• If using stakes to stabilize the tripod of the
  weather station on the ground, ensure that there
  are no underground wires or pipes under the
  mini-weather station.
• DO NOT install the system during any atmospheric
  electrical activity. Similarly DO NOT approach
  the weather station to retrieve data or for other
  activities any time during bad weather.
• Students should be under an adult supervision (by
  a school staff) when tasked to retrieve data
  especially for those weather stations mounted on
  the roof.
• No horseplay or any other inappropriate/dangerous
  activity when in the vicinity of the weather
  station.
• DO NOT climb onto the mini-weather station
  tripod. The weather station and any of its
  associated hardware, mountings and poles etc are
  not designed to support the weight of a person.
  Injury may result.
• If school is relocating the mini-weather station,
  before installing the tripod or mounting poles,
  ensure that the golden rules of installation are
  adhered to and that there are no electrical power
  lines overhead. Use only appropriate tools to
  remove the mini-weather station base from the
  pole or tripod.
