4. QuickStart
4.1 Install system components
When possible, install the data logger and other devices inside the enclosure prior to installing
the enclosure in the field. Doing so:
l
Ensures all system components fit inside the enclosure
l
Allows the components to be wired together in a lab environment resulting in cleaner
wiring and providing easier access to wire diagrams and component documentation
l
Allows for the assembled system to be fully tested prior to deploying the system to the field
l
Shortens installation time in the field
4.2 Install the enclosure
Mount the enclosure to a solid support.
