Be

 

careful

 

not

 

to

 

bend

 

the

 

case

 

when

 

tightening

 

screws.

 

 

Mounting

 

the

 

Station

 

There

 

are

 

three

 

ways

 

to

 

mount

 

the

 

station

 

using

 

the

 

built

in

 

mounting

 

tabs.

 

 

Use

 

the

 

two

 

sets

 

of

 

outer

 

holes

 

and

 

1

5/8

 

inch

 

saddle

clamp

 

U

bolts

 

to

 

attach

 

the

 

logger

 

to

 

a

 

tripod

 

or

 

mast

 

(this

 

is

 

the

 

recommended

 

method

 

for

 

mounting

 

on

 

a

 

mast).

 

Do

 

not

 

use

 

U

bolts

 

without

 

the

 

saddle

 

clamps

 

as

 

that

 

could

 

bend

 

the

 

mounting

 

tabs

 

and

 

damage

 

the

 

housing

 

or

 

compromise

 

the

 

weatherproof

 

seal

 

in

 

outdoor

 

environments.

 

The

 

flat

 

portion

 

of

 

the

 

saddle

 

clamps

 

should

 

be

 

against

 

the

 

mounting

 

tabs.

 

 

Use

 

the

 

included

 

cable

 

ties

 

with

 

the

 

two

 

sets

 

of

 

inner

 

holes

 

to

 

affix

 

the

 

logger

 

to

 

a

 

PVC

 

pipe

 

or

 

mast.

 

 

Use

 

the

 

included

 

screws

 

and

 

washers

 

with

 

the

 

two

 

sets

 

of

 

outer

 

holes

 

to

 

adhere

 

the

 

logger

 

to

 

a

 

wall

 

or

 

flat

 

surface.

 

 

Important:

 

See

 

Deployment

 

Guidelines

 

and

 

Installing

 

the

 

Grounding

 

Wire

 

for

 

installation

 

steps

 

and

 

other

 

deployment

 

guidelines.

 

Installing

 

the

 

Cable

 

Channel

 

Important:

 

This

 

is

 

required

 

for

 

outdoor

 

and

 

weatherproof

 

deployments

 

and

 

recommended

 

for

 

harsh

 

indoor

 

environments

 

where

 

debris

 

could

 

enter

 

the

 

station.

 

1.

 

Make

 

sure

 

all

 

sensors

 

and

 

cables

 

are

 

installed,

 

including

 

the

 

solar

 

panel,

 

AC

 

adapter

 

cable,

 

or

 

external

 

DC

 

power

 

cable,

 

and

 

the

 

grounding

 

wire.

 

2.

 

Use

 

the

 

integrated

 

plugs

 

to

 

fill

 

any

 

unused

 

holes.

 

Bend

 

the

 

plugs

 

up

 

so

 

that

 

you

 

can

 

push

 

them

 

into

 

the

 

holes.

 

Once

 

a

 

plug

 

is

 

partially

 

pushed

 

through,

 

you

 

can

 

pull

 

on

 

the

 

part

 

of

 

the

 

plug

 

that

 

is

 

inside

 

the

 

case.

 

You

 

may

 

need

 

to

 

bend

 

the

 

ends

 

of

 

the

 

channel

 

slightly

 

to

 

widen

 

the

 

holes

 

for

 

installing

 

the

 

plugs.

 

 

 

 

3.

 

Lightly

 

coat

 

the

 

portion

 

of

 

the

 

sensor

 

cables

 

that

 

will

 

be

 

in

 

the

 

cable

 

channel

 

with

 

a

 

small

 

amount

 

of

 

silicone

 

grease

 

(about

 

the

 

size

 

of

 

a

 

pea).

 

4.

 

Lightly

 

coat

 

the

 

bottom

 

and

 

two

 

sides

 

of

 

the

 

cable

 

channel

 

with

 

silicone

 

grease.

 

5.

 

Reinstall

 

the

 

cable

 

channel

 

in

 

the

 

station

 

making

 

sure

 

the

 

key

 

on

 

the

 

bottom

 

is

 

inserted

 

in

 

the

 

notch

 

in

 

the

 

station

 

enclosure.

should

 

look

 

like
