Madam,

it is basically depends on the obstructions you have nearby. Place anemometers at least 2x the height of any large hard object within a 50 meter or at least 3 times the heights away from the closest tree. Dense trees require more distance. basically the installation depends on the surrounding and it is more or less location specific. In IMTI we have installed the cup counter anemometer in a bases of 1.5 m height. your supplier (if it is Lawrence and Mayo) they will do it as per the specification
