NOTE:
Do not mount the shield or route the sensor cable into the enclosure until after the EE181 is
installed inside the shield.
7.3.1.1 Installation in a RAD10E 10-plate shield
1. Loosen the nut on the entry gland at the bottom of the shield.
2. Insert sensor into the bottom of the multi-plate shield. Situate the gland so it’s 1.25 to
2.5 cm (0.5 to 1 in) above the sensor connector. See
3. Using an adjustable wrench, tighten down the nut on the gland until the sensor is held
firmly in place. Do not overtighten.
7.3.1.2 Installation in a 41003-5 10-plate shield
1. Slide the adapter over the sensor body and situate the adapter so it’s 1.25 to 2.5 cm (0.5 to
1 in) above the sensor connector.
2. Insert sensor and adapter into the bottom of the multi-plate shield.
3. Hold the collar and sensor and finish threading the collar into the shield by hand. Tighten
the collar around the probe until it firmly grips the body of the probe. Use an adjustable
wrench if necessary, but do not overtighten the collar.
7.3.2 Mount the shield
1. Attach the radiation shield to the tripod mast, crossarm, or tower leg using the supplied
U-bolt. See
(p. 12) for an example of shield mounting.
2. Route the cable to the data logger, and secure the cable to the mounting structure using
cable ties.
CAUTION:
Failure to secure the cable can lead to breakage of the wires due to fatigue caused by
blowing back and forth in the wind.
