Initial Setup
Installing the Wind Cups (if needed)
1. Remove the Cyclone Pro Sensor, Wind
Cups, and Mini Screwdriver from the
package. Take note of the flat edges
located on the head of the Sensor and
underside of the Wind Cups.
3. Carefully tighten the screw on the side
of the cups using the Mini Screwdriver. The
screw should tighten into the flat edge of
the post.
2. Align the flat edges and place the Wind
Cups on top of the Cyclone Pro Sensor.
4. When the screw is tight, gently pull up on
the cups to ensure they are secure.
If they pull o, start again with step two.

• Use the built-in Bubble Level to ensure the Cyclone Pro
Sensor (especially the rain gauge) is mounted level.
• Ensure the Solar Panel is facing to the South. This helps
optimize battery life and transmit correct wind direction data.
• Ideally, the Cyclone Pro Sensor should be mounted on the
tallest object in your area. Avoid positioning the sensor
parallel or below eaves, roof lines, trees, or other objects that
may obstruct wind and rain readings.
• Make sure all the screws on the Mounting Bracket, Wind
Cups, Wind Vane, and Battery Compartment are securely
fastened.
• The Cyclone Pro Sensor should be mounted with the Wind
Cups on the top.

Fence posts, poles, decks, and mailboxes are common mounting options due to their convenience.
Many users prefer these types of locations as the data they provides is accurate from their ground
level. However, because the wind in these spots is often aected by obstructions, the readings may
dier when compared to local reporting stations.
Basic Installation
Mount the Mast to a flat surface with the four
provided screws.
1. 2.
Place the Cyclone Pro Sensor on top of the Mast.
Ensure the Solar Panel is facing south.
5
Sensor Placement & Mounting
Check the integrated Bubble Level or use your own
across the Rain Funnel to ensure the sensor is level.
Secure the Cyclone Sensor to the Mast by tightening
the screws on the side. After screws are tightened,
double check the sensor has remained level
through the installation process.
3. 4.
Flexible Installation
Install the Hand Screw to the bracket, then Secure
the Cyclone Sensor to the Mast by tightening the
screws on the side.
This configuration allows you to attach the sensor
to angled locations and easily make adjustments
to ensure the Mast and Sensor are level.

2. Clear any leaves, insects, or other debris
to allow the Rain Tipper to rock freely.
Check and clear the Drainage Holes
located on the underside of the sensor.

Cyclone Pro Sensor Mounting
Cleaning the Rain Sensor
1. Remove the Rain Funnel by firmly twisting
the funnel counter-clockwise and lifting up.
Some advanced installation options include tripods, wall mounts, chimney mounts, and many others.
Any of these can be combined with U-bolts for attachment onto a tall cylindrical conduit using our
Adjustable Base. These options will require additional equipment and possibly professional help for
best results.

3. After cleaning, re-install the Rain Funnel by
placing it back into the sensor and twisting
clockwise until secure.
4. You should feel the funnel lock into place
when one of the arrows lines up with the
center of the Lock/Unlock Line.
Tip: Remove the Cyclone Pro Sensor’s batteries before cleaning to avoid accidental rain
readings.
