This manual describes how to install the EZ-Mount Advanced Station.
Separate manuals included with the station cover the operation of the console
and sensors.
The EZ-Mount Advanced Stations are the “EZ” installation versions of the
GroWeather, Energy EnviroMonitor and Health EnviroMonitor stations. In
addition to the normal EZ-sensor suite, the advanced stations feature an

Follow the steps below to install your station. At various stages of this installation, you will be advised to test the system to ensure proper functioning.
1. Detach and remove the extension tube from the support tube by cutting the two black
cable ties.
2. Attach the anemometer arm to the support tube as shown below. Make sure that the
anemometer is positioned over the white field case and NOT over the black rain collector cone.

3. Attach the wind cups to the anemometer.
Push the wind cups onto the shaft as far as they will go, then tighten the set
screw. The cups should drop slightly and into the ideal position automatically. Spin the wind cups. If they do not spin freely, loosen the set screw and
lower the cups slightly. Repeat until the wind cups spin freely.

4. Detach the rain collector cone and snip the cable tie.
Detach the black rain collector cone from its base by rotating the cone
counter-clockwise until its latches line up with the latch openings in the base
and then raise the cone off. (The cone may be tightly attached to the base the
first time.) C
arefully cut and remove the black cable tie which holds the bucket in
place during shipping.
Twist off the rain collector cone.
Snip the black cable tie.
Do not re-attach the rain collector cone at this point; you will need to test the
tipping bucket before you complete the installation.
5. Apply power to the station console.
To power up the console, first remove the console’s mounting base by pressing down on the large tab between the two oblong holes on the base’s
underside and pulling the base free. Plug the power adapter into the center
“Power” slot, as shown below, and then plug the other end into a 110 VAC
outlet. Once power is applied, the console should beep twice within 10 seconds if the console is working properly. (If you have the optional WeatherLink installed, the console should beep three times within 20 seconds.) The
readings will appear dashed out until you connect the sensors.
Note: If you are going to use a battery as backup, make sure that you plug in the AC power before
installing the battery . Powering up the console with the battery alone may cause the console
to lock up due to insufficient power. (Do NOT use a backup battery if you use the optional
EZ-Solar Power Kit.)
