Installing Your Station Page 5
6. Connect the sensor array field case to the console.
Plug the free end of the 100’ (30 m) 8-conductor cable on the sensor array
into the jack labeled JUNCTION BOX underneath the console.
The pre-assembled EZ-Mount station allows you to install your station
without ever opening the sensor array field case (the white rectangular
box). Inside the field case, the sensor data passes through a junction box
then out to the console through the cable.
7. Check all of the readings on your display to be sure they appear correctly (i.e., not
dashed out).
Consult your Monitor or Wizard owner’s manual for instructions on dis-
playing the various readings. Spin the wind cups, move the wind vane, and
tip the rain bucket to verify wind speed and direction and rainfall readings.
Note that some sensor readings (e.g., wind direction, barometer, and 0.2mm
rain collectors) must be adjusted in order to read correctly; specific instruc-
tions are contained in the owner’s manual.
If the console is having problems reading the sensors, consult the trouble-
shooting guide at the end of this manual.
8. Re-attach the rain collector cone and lay the debris screen “feet-down” over the
cone’s funnel hole.
9. Unplug the console end of the 8-conductor cable.

Choosing Locations for the Sensor Array and Console
The cable that connects your sensor array to your console is 100 feet (30 m)
long. Choose a location where the cable can safely and reasonably connect
with the console. Most people install the sensor array on the roofs of their
houses, on fences, or in open fields where wind flow and rainfall are unob-
structed by trees and nearby buildings, and then install their consoles inside
their houses.
Alternatively, you can mount the console in the field case on the sensor array
itself and either check the data at the site, or use the optional WeatherLink and
run a cable to a computer. If you plan to mount the console inside the field
case, please keep in mind that you will need to supply the console with
contin-
uous
power. To do this, you can use the optional EZ-Solar Power Kit or any
other 110 VAC,
weather-protected
power source.
Note:
The 9-volt backup battery can serve this purpose temporarily but is
not
recommended as a
long-term solution—a new battery will power the station for 24-48 hours only.
For an illustration of how to mount the console on the inside door of the field
case, refer to the Multi-Purpose Shelter manual included with your station.
