The Solar Radiation Shield has been designed for easy removal of the lower
two plates to allow quick access to the HOBO Pro data logger 3.5 mm jack cap.
The jack cap is removed from the HOBO Pro logger, enabling connection of the
computer interface cable, or HOBO Shuttle interface cable for data download.
For final assembly of the Solar Radiation Shield you will require the partially
assembled Solar Radiation Shield, with cover plate assembly attached, from the
prior step, two closed plates, and three #8 wing nuts.
If the final mounting method involves attachment to the top of a post, the
lower closed plate will have a Mounting Bracket attached to it.
