Snow Level
The DCU7210 Snow Level Sensor should be located in an area where
snow will not be disturbed and drifting is not likely to occur. The
measurement area should be sheltered from the wind as much as
possible. The best sites are often found in clearings within forests or
orchards, among trees, in scrub or shrub forests, or where other
objects act as an effective wind-break for winds from all directions.
Fuel Moisture
QFM101 Fuel Moisture Sensor can monitor the moisture conditions
on the forest floor only if it can absorb and give up moisture near a
fair sample of the material that is naturally present. It must exchange
moisture with the air in essentially the same way that the forest floor
materials do.
Mount the sensor on the south side of the tower (or the north side in
the southern hemisphere) so that it is not shadowed by the tower. If
possible, arrange that the sensor is exposed to sunlight for at least six
hours in the middle of the day. Make sure that no grass or other
vegetation touches the sensor; these can transfer moisture directly.
The sensor must be installed approximately one week before it can
give an accurate reading of the fuel moisture on the forest floor.
Weather Sensor
FD12P should be located in a way that the site has a minimum
clearance of 100 m from all large buildings and other constructions
that generate heat and/or obstruct precipitation droplets. Shade from
trees may effect the microclimate and should therefore be avoided.
The site should be free of obstacles and reflective surfaces disturbing
the optical measurement, as well as obvious sources of contamination.
