3.2.3 Mounting the Electronics Box
Mount the electronics box as follows:
1.
First, remove the front cover of the rain shield by loosening the two pan-head
screws on the bottom front of the rain shield, and then pushing the cover all
the way up, and sliding it out.
It will be difficult to mount the rain shield to a mast with the front
cover on, since the 1/2 inch nut holding the bottom U-bolt is located
inside the rain shield.
2.
Before mounting the rain shield onto a tripod, first mount the electronics box
inside the rain shield. Remove the four pan-head screws from the back panel
of the rain shield. Align the electronics box, and use the four pan-head
screws to secure the electronics box onto the back panel. Make sure the
electronics box is pushed all the way up, and the screws are positioned at the
bottom of the mounting slot on the electronics box (see Figure 2). This will
provide enough room to attach the connectors to the bottom of the electronics
box later on.
