# Mounting Arrangements

#### Mounting Arrangements Tab

The Mounting Arrangements Tab is used to describe how the instruments have been mounted on a met mast or solar measurement station.\
\
The mounting arrangements are not prepopulated by uploading logger files to BrightHub, so they must be manually added by referring to installation documents, in particular for anemometers, wind vanes and pyranometers.

To **add a mounting arrangement:**

1. By default there is an empty row in the Mounting Arrangements table - double click a field or click the edit icon to populate this row.
2. For subsequent rows click 'Add mounting arrangement'.
3. Select a Measurement Point from the dropdown list of measurements.\
   The sensor that is mounted with this arrangement is mapped through the Measurement Point.
4. Select the Date From. This is typically the date that the instrument recording that measurement was installed.\
   This defaults to the Date From of the measurement station i.e. the first timestamp in the ingested data. You can edit this if needed.
5. Edit the Date To for the mounting arrangement, or leave blank if this is the current ongoing mounting arrangement for the selected measurement point.
6. Select the mounting type from the drop down (side-, goal post- or top- mounted).
7. Specify the boom orientation in degrees and the orientation reference (magnetic, true or grid north)
8. For wind vanes specify the Vane Dead Ban Orientation in degrees.\
   Specify the Boom Orientation in degrees and the Orientation Reference (magnetic, true or grid north)
9. For solar measurements, specify the Tilt Angle.
10. Provide details on the mounting which can help to determine IEC compliance, such as the Mast Section Geometry, Booem OEM, Boom Model, Boom Length, Diameter, Upstand Height, Upstand Diameter, Mounting Tube Length and Distance Mast to Sensor.
