EZ-Mount Weather Station

 

Mounting the Sensor Array

 

The sensor array has been pre-assembled for easy installation. However, you 
will still need to provide a solid mounting for the sensor array. Mounting hard-
ware has been included for the most common installations (see figures below). 
If you are using the optional Mounting Tripod, consult the tripod’s manual for 
mounting instructions. 

 

CAUTION:

 

The station’s wind direction is calibrated as if the horizontal part of the anemometer arm 

were pointing south. If you plan to mount the station facing a different direction, consult 

 

your owner’s manual for instructions on how to adjust the wind vane accordingly. 

 

Note:

 

For roof mounting, we recommend the optional Mounting Tripod. If mounting on a roof, tower, or 
other elevated structure without the Tripod, be sure to consider the effects of lightning, wind 

 

loading and vibration and design the installation accordingly.
