6|Page WeatherNode Installation Guide Professional Installation Only WeatherNode weather monitoring nodes require professional installation. This product cannot be purchased by the general public, the intended use is specific to utility companies. Proper installation requires the units to be placed on utility poles or transmission towers in proximity to live, unprotected electrical lines. Only properly trained personnel, using proper equipment should attempt to install or service monitoring nodes. WeatherNode weather monitoring nodes are designed to be mounted directly to a pole. 1) Unbox the unit. 2) Plan the mounting and installation to allow the node to be oriented towards the south with minimal shading. Attach the provided mount to a pole using the included hardware. See picture below. 3) Nodes are shipped with antennas attached. Each antenna is torqued and secured in place with Loctite, then sealed to prevent moisture intrusion prior to shipment. Attempts to remove supplied antennas or substitute other antennas will void the warranty, likely damage the unit and produce undesired performance. 4) Attach the node to the mounting bracket. 5) Upon detection of a strong light source or full sunlight, the node will wake up and signal its operational status with two beeps. 6) The node will automatically seek out other nodes and start reporting.
