15-Minute Siting & Physical Mounting
Action 1: Choose Your Mounting Location

Mount the unit at least 5 to 6 feet above ground on a wooden fence post, deck corner railing, roof fascia, or standalone pipe mast. Ensure it is in open air and at least 10 feet away from A/C condenser exhaust fans, clothes dryer vents, and chimneys.

Action 2: Orient the Solar Panel Due South

Aim the solar panel surface toward True South (use your smartphone's compass app). Facing South ensures maximum solar charging throughout the winter and automatically orients the internal wind vane calibration accurately.

Action 3: Level & Lock Hardware

Look at the circular bubble level on top of the outdoor sensor head. Center the bubble within the circle, then tighten the U-bolts (for round pipes) or lag screws until completely rigid.
