Section 1. Preparation and Siting 1.3 Siting and Exposure CAUTION If any part of the weather station comes in contact with power lines, you could be killed. Contact local utilities for the location of buried utility lines before digging or driving ground rods. Selecting an appropriate site for the weather station is critical in order to obtain accurate meteorological data. In general, the site should be representative of the general area of interest, and away from the influence of obstructio

In open areas, the distance to obstructions should be two to four times (EPA, AASC) the height of the obstruction. The height of the opening should be as low as possible, but should be high enough to avoid splas

Section 2. ET Tower Installation DANGER: Do not install near power lines. If any part of the tower comes in contact with power lines you could be KILLED. Contact local utilities for the location of buried utility lines before digging or driving grounding rods. CAUTION: Do not fit the 3 meter ET Tower sections together until the appropriate time. Once attached, they cannot be detached. The ET Tower provides a support structure for mounting the ET101 and ET106 weather station components. Fig

Section 2. ET Tower Installation 2.1.2 Installation 1. The ET Tower attaches to a user supplied concrete foundation constructed as shown in Figure 2.1-2. 2. Construct the concrete form with 2" x 4" lumber and 16p nails. 3. Assemble the template and anchor bolts. There should be two nuts below and one nut above the template on each bolt. 4. Clear an area large enough to set the form at the desired elevation. 5. Dig a hole 2 feet x 2 feet x 2 feet. Lighter soils may require a deeper hole. Abou
