EZ2-35W2MC Pole Mounting Kit
Ambient Weather pole mounting kit constructed of
rust proof 10-steel tubing, galvonized using the
Flo-Coat (zinc-chromate ploymer) for excellent
corrosion proof protection.
We ship this item in two configurations depending
on the item(s) on each order.
Configuration 1, most common: Includes six
assemblable 14" x 1.25"-diameter masts. Add a
mast extension (see below) to extend the pole an
additional 35".
Configuration 2: Includes one 35" x 1.25"-
diameter smooth mast and one 35" x 1.25"-
diameter swaged mast for an effective height of
68".
Includes two 1.25" clamps, and four – ¼" diameter
x 3" lag screws for mounting to any vertical
surface.
Anemometer pictured is not included.

Important Installation Instructions
CAUTION: Any metal object may attract a
lightning strike, including your weather station
and tripod.
Never install your weather station in a
thunderstorm.
We recommend properly grounding the tripod to
avoid extensive damage to the weather station
and structure. Consult a licensed electrician or
local lightning detection expert prior to installing
a ground wire.
Mounting Pole Installation
1. In a fence post or other flat vertical
surface, drill two holes, using one of the
1-1/8” saddles as a guide.
2. Drill another set of holes at least 12”
away from the first holes.
3. Using the lag screws, secure the saddles
and into the post.
4. Tighten the lag screws until the
complete mast assembly will not slide
up or down, if you received
Configuration 1 see step 6 below.
5. Insert the swaged end of the support
tube in the open top of the extension
tube.
Figure 3
6. Reference Figure 3 above. Insert one of
the swaged ends into a smooth end and
tighten, by applying rotational force
(hand tight is usually enough), so the
extension does not rotate loose when
permanently installed.
Repeat this step for the second, third,
fourth, fifth and sixth 14” mast. The
entirely smooth 14” mast should be on
the bottom of the assembly.
