4 MOUNTING THE DATAHOG OR MINIMET
If your DataHog or MiniMet logger has integral or built in relative humidity and / or air temperature sensors,
please follow instructions in Section 5
If your DataHog or MiniMet logger simply has sockets to plug in external sensors, a short arm pole mount
can be used to install it. If you have purchased your logger directly from Skye, the mounting bracket will have
already been fitted to the instrument for you. If you have purchased the items separately, please follow
these instructions.
Unscrew the 4 screws on the underside of the datalogger and remove the base, you will see the instrument
case has a 'double skin'. There are four mounting holes outside the inner compartment, one in each corner,
which are used for attaching either the radiation screen (for integral RH & Air temperature DataHogs) or
bracket (for DataHogs without integral RH & Air temperature).
Undo the 4 screws on the white, protruding pillars on the flat underside of the radiation screen, and use
these to screw the instrument case to the screen. You will need a small, long screwdriver for this job. Note that
even though the instrument casing is square, the mounting holes are not squarely placed.
.
Tighten the four mounting screws securely but gently, and replace the instrument base. TAKE CARE to
orientate the base correctly to prevent damage to the soft rubber 'O' ring seal, especially avoiding the
battery ribbon and battery clips.
The bracket has four mounting holes on the flat back plate, suitable for bolting to a wall or vertical surface. It
is supplied as standard with a pair of 'V' bolts, washers, nuts and end caps used for fixing to a pole or mast
up to a maximum diameter of 50 mm. Use plastic cable ties to prevent cable movement and damage from
rubbing.
