X. Appendix A: Optional Equipment Mounting Instructions
Datalogger Mounting Instructions
a. The optional mounting hardware is located on the rear of the
Datalogger enclosure.
b. Loosen the nut so the retaining bolt can be removed and the fitting can
placed around the mast. Global Water recommends that the
Datalogger be attached to the lower portion of the mast.
c. Place the Datalogger on the mast with the cables coming out the
bottom of the unit.
d. Secure the bolt in the fitting and tighten the nut to secure the
Datalogger to the mast.
Barometric Pressure Sensor Mounting Instructions
a. If the Barometric Pressure Sensor was installed at Global Water, it
was installed inside the Datalogger enclosure.
b. If the sensor is being installed in the field Global Water recommends
that it be attached to the lid of the Datalogger with tape in such a way
that the enclosure can open and close freely. The cable can either be
cut, stripped, and connected to the Datalogger on a free channel or
the cable can be run out of the enclosure through a free strain relief,
run back into the enclosure through a different strain relief, and
connected to a free channel on the Datalogger.
c. Ensure that a strain relief hole is open, or the pressure valve is open to
allow airflow or the Pressure Sensor will read incorrectly.
Solar Radiation Sensor Mounting Instructions
a. The Solar Radiation Sensor comes with mounting hardware similar to
the Wind Direction and Wind Speed Sensors.
b. The T fitting and stub should be mounted on the upper portion of the
mast and secured at a height and in a direction where the sensor will
not be shaded by any other sensor of object. Tighten the T fitting’s set
screws with the enclosed hex wrench to secure the stub in place.
c. The Solar Radiation Sensor has a 1” elbow that mounts on the stub.
Place the elbow on the stub and secure with the set screw.
d. Use the bubble level and three mounting screws to level the sensor
