Testing the Sensor

Typical Standard GroWeather/EnviroMonitor Installation

Mounting the Sensor

Depending on your use for this sensor, you may install it following the

suggest

ions below:

• For air temperature, use a cable tie, cable clip, or electrical

tape to attach the

cable to a building, post, antenna mast, or other surface (make sure the sensor

itself is not in contact with the building’s surface). Consult the Radiation Shield

manual for instructions on installing the sensor in the Radiation Shield.

• For soil temperature, bury the sensor at

a depth suitable for your purposes.

Where the cable runs along the ground, use metal or plastic conduits to protect

the cable from rodents.

• For water temperature, drop the sensor int

o the water at a depth suitable for

your purposes. If the cable runs along the ground at any point, use metal or

plastic conduits to protect the cable from rodents.

In any case, to prevent fraying

or cutting of the sensor cable where it is exposed to

weather, it is important that you secure it so it doesn’t whip about in the wind.

For example, you might want to use cable clips or

weather resistant cable ties to secure the cable. Place clips

or ties approximately every 3 to 5 feet (1 to 1.6 m). Do

not

use metal staples or a staple gun to secure cables.
