Can I mount my outdoor sensor on a roof mast?

#1

Hello! I just received my AirGradient Open Air outdoor AQM. I know the mounting instructions indicate a specific height above the ground: " Height: Please do not place the sensor below 100cm or above 300cm on the wall. Ideally it should be placed between 150-250cm." However, Iā€™d like to mount it on an existing mast on the roof of my home to get the sensor out of the close trees that surround my home. I just kind of assume the trees would interfere. This would be some 30ā€™ above ground (average, my home is on a hill) and then I could get the 150-240cm above the roof itself on the mast. This is in Minnesota, so Iā€™m watching wildfire pollutants specifically.

Does this strategy still produce valid data?

Thanks!

Yes, in that case it is no problem. The maximum height is actually not that important and I will remove it from the instructions.
