| Q5: |
Is the Temperature accurate ? |
| A5: |
At present the Temperature Gauge may be
subject to reading a little high during sunny and low/no wind
conditions. We hope to be able to relocate the sensor to
reduce/eliminate this in due course. |

As the Wind-speed/direction sensor is
mounted close to the mast structures and not far from the edge of the
escarpment readings from some directions may be in-accurate. |
