Wind Vane mounting orientation to ensure proper direction? Jun 21, 2018 19:08:32 GMT -8

Hi!

Maybe I missed it somewhere in the documentation/manuals/etc. but I did not see any indication of how to mount the Wind Vane or calibrate it through software so that the software reports the correct wind direction.

Is that something that I missed and/or could someone please explain how to align the Wind Vane so that when it reports "North (0 degrees)" it is really pointed "North"?

I hope this question/request makes sense?

Thanks for any help you can give,
J.J.

Tape it fixed and then adjust it to north.

You can see the "N" printed on the plastic on the Wind Vane base. Orient that towards north. BP
