4. Attach the cable clamp to one of the remaining posts on the closed plate (using a
#4 x 1/2” pan head self-threading screw and a #4 flat washer) so that a loop
of cable is formed between the data logger and the cable clamp.
Make sure to mount the cable clamp with the flat side up and the bulge side
down. Tighten the screw snugly so that the cable cannot move easily
through the cable clamp if pulled on. When testing for a tight hold, do not
pull hard on the cable or you may damage it.
Attaching an External Temperature Sensor from the HOBO H8
Outdoor/Industrial
4-Channel
External Logger to the Solar Radiation Shield
In order to attach an External Temperature Sensor to the Solar Radiation
Shield, you will need a closed plate, both clip mounts, the cable clamp, three
#4 x 1/2” pan head self-threading screws, three #4 flat washers, and the tem-
perature sensor.
1. Place the sensor cable into the notch on one of the clip mounts and hold it in place.
Make sure to hold the clip mount so the raised semi-circle at the top of the
notch faces up.
2. Position the second clip mount over the first, with the notch facing in the opposite
direction, securing the sensor cable between the two notches.
When positioning the second clip mount, make sure the raised semi-circle
faces down.
