Important Notes: On the edge of wind direction sensor, there are four alphabet letter of “N”,”E”,”S”and “W” representing for the direction of North, East, South and West. Wind direction sensor has to be adjusted so that the directions on the sensor are matching with your real location. Permanent wind direction error will be introduced when the wind direction sensor is not positioned correctly during installation.
