Installing the DS-2

5.1

Attaching and leveling

The DS-2 is ﬁtted with a U-bolt, allowing it to be mounted atop

most posts, poles, tripods, etc. Depending on the application, the

DS-2 should be mounted two to three meters above ground.

5.1.1

Adjustable Length Pole

A telescoping pole is available for purchase to use with the DS-2. The

pole consists of two tubes, which can be adjusted out to a length of

approximately 2.38 meters. The large, outer tube has a diameter of

approximately 5 cm, whereas the inner tube is approximately 4.5 cm

in diameter.

Be sure to secure the pole to the ground by either auguring a hole

(we recommend .6 m, or 2 foot depth, minimum), or by any other

means available.

5.1.2

Leveling

You will need to adjust the anemometer so that it is level. Use a

bubble level or other leveling device to ensure the anemometer is

level(leveling device not included).

5.2

Orientation

For accurate wind direction measurements the DS-2 must be prop-

erly oriented. An N engraved on the side of the anemometer indi-

cates which side of the sensor to point north. Be sure to direct the

anemometer toward true north, not magnetic north.
