What is a mounting pole?

A mounting pole assures that your weather station and transmitters are located at the proper height to be free of obstruction. It provides a secure, weather-resistant support for proper readings and to make sure the sensors are unobstructed.

Davis Instruments’ weather station mounting kit is durable and made from solid materials. When it comes to choosing a mounting for your weather station, it’s recommended to purchase one that gives you confidence that it can withstand the weather and won’t collapse and damage your equipment. This mounting kit is a good choice for durability in many different weather conditions.

Where can I install a weather station and mounting pole? How high should a weather station be mounted?

NOAA standards for siting a weather station are that the temperature, humidity, and rain sensors be at 4-6 ft. (1.2-2.0 m) above the ground. For optimum NOAA siting, the anemometer should be 33 ft. (10 m) above the ground. It is not always possible to site your station perfectly; Vantage Vue sensors are all in the same unit, and Vantage Pro2 anemometer and other sensors can be mounted on the same pole. Your data will be accurate for that siting. (For weather stations for agricultural applications, they should be 6 ft. (2 m) above the surface of the ground. If you are mounting equipment on the roof, it should be 10 ft. above the highest point.)

How do you secure a mounting pole?

To secure a mounting pole to a building or fence post, you first fit the extension pole over the swaged end of the shorter pole. Use the U-bolt provided to secure the pole to the saddle. The hex nuts and washers are tightened to secure the two sections of the pole together. Use the additional sets of lag screws, flat washers, and saddles to secure the pole securely to the surface.

How do you mount a weather station on a pole?

Your weather station will come with its own hardware and instructions for mounting.Vantage Vue sensor suites are mounted to the top of a pole, while Vantage Pro2 sensor suites are mounted using a u-bolt.

What do air quality monitors do?

An air quality monitor has a fan that draws in the air surrounding the monitor. The air passes through as a laser shines through the air inside the sensor. Particulate matter like dust, mold, pollen block the light. The sensor can determine the concentration and size of particles based on the strength of the light that reaches the other side.

How accurate are air quality monitors?

The air quality sensor on the AirLink can measure particulates as small as 0.3 microns with a concentration accuracy of +/- 10 micrograms per cubic meter.

The device can provide a reading of particulates from less than 1 micron (PM1) to less than 10 microns (PM10). Inhalable particulates that are 2.5 microns or smaller are small enough to penetrate deeply into your lungs and can cause difficulty breathing in some people.

You can choose from air quality indexes of 9 different countries including Canada, UK, US, Mexico, China, South Korea, EU, Australia, and India.

Why is air quality monitoring important?

Knowing your area’s air quality in real-time is important, especially for those who have heart and lung conditions, asthma, or allergies. You can get this information from the local news station, but air quality can change drastically during the day, especially in areas prone to wildfires or dust storms, and from one location to another. That’s why the AirLink Professional was designed as both an indoor and outdoor air quality monitor.

Children, elders, and women who are pregnant are of special concern when air quality is poor. Wildfires as far as 200 miles away can produce dangerous particulates of PM2.5 or smaller which are hazardous for the lungs and can further aggravate respiratory issues like asthma and bronchitis.

How do I read an air quality monitor?

The AirLink provides information about dust, smoke, pollution, dew point, and heat index. This information is automatically uploaded and presented in color-coded graphs that allow you to track changes over time. This allows you to monitor the air quality for sudden changes even if you cannot tell the difference physically. With two AirLinks, you can compare indoor and outdoor air quality. You can also compare different areas of your home. This information can help you decide to take action when air quality is poor.
