Section 2. Initial Setup
Installing the Gas Analyzer and Components
The instrument is typically installed on a tripod or tower for eddy covariance applic-
ations. This section describes how to install the instrument and its associated com-
ponents.
Mounting the LI-7550 Analyzer Interface Unit
The mounting kit (part number 9979-022) is used to mount the LI-7550 to a tripod
or other post. You can also attach the box directly to a flat surface. The LI-7550 will
operate according to specifications in direct sun.
Determine the height at which the sensor head will be mounted, and plan to
mount the Analyzer Interface Unit accordingly. The head cable is 5 meters long.
An extension cable can extend the total cable length to a maximum of 10 meters.
