ROUBLESHOOTING
While the EZ-Mount Advanced Station is designed to provide years of trouble-
free operation, occasional problems may arise. If you experience a problem,
please check the troubleshooting tips below before calling tech support.
✦
Console does not register any rainfall
Double check that you have cut the cable tie that secures the rain bucket
during shipping. See step 4 on page 5 for instructions. Also, make sure the
anemometer is not positioned above the rain collector cone.
✦
Console does not register wind direction correctly
Check that you have either pointed the anemometer arm westward when
mounting (page 10), or that you have recalibrated the wind vane to the
anemometer arm’s current direction.
✦
Console locks up
Insufficient power during power up or a power surge may cause the con-
sole to lock up. If this occurs, remove all power by disconnecting any bat-
tery backup and the
AC/DC
power cord. Wait for 1 minute with all of the
power removed. Then re-connect the
AC/DC
power cord and listen for 2
beeps within 10 seconds.
Note:
If you have the WeatherLink installed, listen for 3 beeps within 20 seconds and then, if all
is well, try communicating with the WeatherLink using the software.
Once you receive the final beep, install a fresh backup battery, if desired,
and put the console back into service.
✦
