Appendix 7: Make sure the GP2 is properly
sealed
Make sure the case is not cracked nor damaged in any way
Check there is no dirt, foreign objects or damage to the rubber lid seal – this could
compromise the integrity.
Firmly tighten all 4 lid screws
Make sure the rubber seal in the cable
gland looks intact and clean.
Make sure the rubber seal hasn’t pealed back on
itself when a cable was inserted.
Ensure unused cable glands have a
blanking plug fitted.
Tighten cable glands onto the cable,
not onto heat shrink.
Tighten the cable glands as hard as you can
by hand or use a torque wrench set to 0.7 nm.
A cable coming out of a GP2
with bare wires exposed, or a
break in the insulation, can allow
water to enter, so ensure the
whole cable is properly sealed.
If possible use sealed
connectors and mount the logger
vertically with the cable glands
facing down.
