DAVIS Radiation Shield (7714) - Manual (Page 10)

If you are attaching the radiation shield to the top of a post:
The instructions for assembling the radiation shield differ slightly if you are
mounting the shield on top of a wooden post. Follow the instructions below if
(and only if) you plan to ultimately mount the radiation shield on top of a wooden
post.
Attach the mounting bracket
To attach the mounting bracket you will need a closed plate, the mounting
bracket, three 1/2” spacers, three #8 x 2 3/4” pan head screws, six #8 flat washers,
three #8 split lock washers, and three #8 hex nuts. You will also need a drill with a
3/16” (4.7 mm) drill bit.
Note: You will need to supply three #8 x 1” screws if you plan to mount the radiation shield
over the top of the post (not preferred), instead of suspending it over the side edge.
1. Using the power drill with 3/16” (4.7 mm) drill bit, drill three holes through
one of the closed plates in the locations marked by small dimples on the
bottom of the plate.
Do not use the closed plate to which you attached the sensor.
