The Solar Radiation Shield can house the HOBO Pro Series data loggers and 
temperature sensors from the HOBO H8 Outdoor/Industrial 4-Channel Exter-
nal data logger. This includes the HOBO Pro H08-030-08 Temp, H08-031-08 
Temp/External Temp, H08-032-08 RH/Temp and external temperature sensors 
from the H08-008-04 HOBO H8 Outdoor/Industrial 4-Channel data logger.

 

Attaching the HOBO Pro Data Logger (all part numbers H08-030-08, 
H08-031-08 and H08-032-08) to the Solar Radiation Shield

 

In order to attach the HOBO Pro data logger to the Solar Radiation Shield you 
will need a closed plate, two #4 x 1/2” pan head self-threading screws, and the 
HOBO Pro data logger. If you are installing a HOBO Pro P/N H08-031-08 
Temp/External Temp logger you will also require a cable clamp, one #4 x 1/2” 
pan head self-threading screw and a #4 flat washer.

 

1. Position the HOBO Pro data logger on the closed plate, lining up any two opposing 

holes in the mounting posts, with the holes on the data logger mounting ears.

 

Make sure you orient the data logger with the metal base side against the 
closed plate, and the label side away from the closed plate.

2. Using two #4x1/2” pan head self-threading screws, attach the data logger to the 

closed plate.

 

Tighten to a snug fit only. Do not over tighten or you may crack the data log-
ger mounting ears.

 

Note:

 

If you have a HOBO Pro P/N H08-031-08, Temp/External Temp logger proceed with Step #3. If you 

 

have HOBO Pro P/N H08-030-08, Temp or H08-032-08, RH/Temp loggers skip Step #3 and #4.
