2.1
Attach EXO Calibration Cup Extender
2. Installation
Once you’ve unpacked the EXO PAR system, attach the EXO calibration cup extender to the bottom of your calibration
cup. It simply clicks on by inserting the bottom of the calibration cup into the top of the extender and pushing down
on a hard surface (figure 3).
The calibration cup extender provides you the extra height you will need to prevent your PAR sensors and cables from
impacting the ground. It’s ideal for in lab use but we recommend using a lab stand as well for stability, to prevent your
sonde and PAR system from tipping over and potentially causing damage.
2.2
Attach the EXO PAR System Frame
Now that your calibration cup extender is installed, stand the sonde in an upright position and slide the EXO PAR
system frame over the EXO2 sonde. The two clamps; upper and lower are fastened to the EXO2 sonde body via two,
5/16-18 x 2.75” socket cap bolts. You will need to use a ¼” Allen wrench to secure these two bolts. Tighten the bolts
until the clamp fits snug to the body of the sonde. Proper alignment of these clamps, as described below, should be
followed as to not damage either system.
NOTE
:
Install the EXO PAR system with the EXO PAR adapter cylinder on the same side of the sonde where the
AUX port connector is located. You will connect the EXO PAR adapter into this AUX port.
