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 lift the cone off. (The cone fits tightly and may require extra pres- sure to remove it the first time.) Carefully cut and remove the black cable tie which holds the bucket in place during shipping.

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).
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.
Securing the Sensor Array After mounting the sensor array, secure the sensor array to the extension tube as shown below. Nuts Washers Running the Cable to the Console To prevent fraying or cutting of the 8-conductor cable, secure the cable so it does not whip about in the wind.
