- Дажджавы калектар: Verify the tipping bucket mechanism inside the rain collector is clear and moves freely.
- Radiation Shield: The temperature and humidity sensors are housed within the radiation shield. Ensure it is clean and unobstructed.
- Панэль сонечных батарэй: The solar panel powers the ISS and charges its battery. Ensure it is facing south (in the Northern Hemisphere) for maximum sun exposure.
4.2. ISS Mounting
Choose a mounting location that provides accurate readings for all sensors. An open area, away from buildings, trees, and other obstructions, is ideal.
- Mount the ISS on a pole or mast using the provided U-bolts and mounting plate.
- Ensure the ISS is level to ensure accurate rain collection.
- The anemometer should be mounted at least 7 feet (2.1 meters) above the ground, or higher for more accurate wind readings, ideally 33 feet (10 meters).
