HMP60 Temperature and Relative Humidity Probe
4. Quickstart
4.1 Step 1 — Mount the Probe
Review Section 7, Installation for complete instructions. To install the
HMP60, you will need:
• 41305-5A 6-plate Radiation Shield
• 1/2" open end wrench
• small screw driver provided with datalogger
• small Phillips screwdriver
• UV resistant cable ties
• small pair of diagonal-cutting pliers
1. Pull off the yellow shipping cap (see Figure 4-1).
2. Loosen the plastic split collar at the base of the shield (reversing the
removable portion if necessary) and gently insert the probe.
3. Tighten the mounting clamp until it lightly grips the probe body (see
Figure 4-4).
4. Continue to push the probe up into the body of the shield until the step in
the tube stops it from going any further.
5. Tighten the collar until it securely grips the probe (see Figure 4-4).
6. Attach the radiation shield to the tripod mast, crossarm, or tower leg using
the supplied U-bolt. See Figures 4-2 and 4-3 for examples of shield
mounting.
7. Route the cable to the datalogger, and secure the cable to the mounting
structure using cable ties.
Failure to secure the cable can lead to breakage of the
wires due to fatigue if the cable is allowed to blow back
and forth in the wind. CAUTION
