USING APOGEE QUANTUM SENSORS WITH ZENTRA SYSTEM

2.1  SET UP MOUNTING ASSEMBLY

The Apogee Quantum sensor must be level to accurately measure PPFD incident on a 
horizontal surface. Each Apogee Quantum sensor purchased from METER comes with an 
AL-120 Solar Mounting Bracket with Leveling Plate. The AL-120 can be mounted to either a 
horizontal or vertical post, depending on which set of holes is used.
1.  Align the cable M8 connector pins with the sensor M8 connector holes and seat 

connectors fully. 

2.  Tighten the cable screw until hand-tight (

Figure 1

).

M8 connectors are easy to overtighten. Do not use pliers or other tools to tighten 
this connector.
