7.3.2 Installation in a RAD06 6-plate shield or RAD10
10-plate shield
1. Pull off the yellow shipping cap (see
(p. 9)).
2. Loosen the nut on the entry gland at the bottom of the shield.
3. Insert the sensor up into the gland as far as it will go (see
(p. 11)).
4. Using an adjustable wrench, tighten down the nut on the gland until the sensor is held
firmly in place. Do not overtighten.
7.3.3 Mount the shield
1. Attach the radiation shield to the tripod mast, crossarm, or tower leg using the supplied
U-bolt. See
(p. 10) and
(p. 11) for examples 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.
