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.
