Maintenance
• The ability of the radiation shield to keep fresh air flowing over the sensors will
be reduced if the shield plates become dirty. Clean the surfaces of the shield
plates periodically with a damp cloth.
• Keep areas between the shield plates free of debris that may obstruct air flow.
Examples are leaves, twigs, webs, nests.
• DO NOT remove nesting insects or animals by spraying insect killer of any kind
into the radiation shield. Chemicals could easily damage the circuitry inside your
temperature/humidity station.
• If necessary, it is possible to disassemble the Radiation shield. To do this,
unscrew the three machine screws attaching the Mounting Bracket to the Radia-
tion Shield. When removing the last screw, place your hand below the Radiation
Shield to keep it from falling. Once the screws are removed, the individual plates
that make up the Radiation Shield can be separated and the sensor is exposed.
A Note on Securing Cables
To prevent fraying or cutting of cables, secure them so they will not whip about in
the wind. Secure a cable to a metal pole by wrapping electrical tape around it or
using the supplied cable ties. Make sure cables are secure by placing clips or ties
approximately every 3 – 5' (1 – 1.6 m).
Note:
Do not use metal staples or a staple gun to secure cables. Metal staples—especially when
installed with a staple gun—have a tendency to cut the cables.
