Location and orientation
The SkyVue 8 measures environmental variables and is designed to be located in harsh weather conditions. However, there are a few considerations to take into account if accurate and representative data from a site are to be obtained.
To reduce the service frequency with the unit, place the SkyVue 8 away from sources of contamination. More regular maintenance will be required when the instrument is placed in areas where contamination is unavoidable
Take care that the orientation allows tilting in whatever direction is desired.
If installing at an airport, check and follow local guidance for allowed locations for a non-frangible object 1 m (3.2 ft) tall. Please contact Campbell Scientific if frangible fittings are required.
