In this paper we present the installation and operation of a new network of sensors located in South America in order to monitor the atmospheric electric field. The main goals of such new instrumental facility is to provide continuous measurements of the diurnal variations of the atmospheric electric field during fair weather undisturbed conditions, and to study its variations in time and space, and as a function of the season and the solar activity conditions. Of particular interest will be the transient variations and their relation with seismic activity occurrence in the region. Finally, by using this new network, we also pretend to better understand the relation between changes in the electrical properties of the atmosphere and excesses in the measurements of the cosmic ray flux.
