4. Secure the sensor to the mounting shelf by driving the screws into the

appropriate holes as shown.

Note: The holes are not equidistant from each other, so the shield will only attach one way

5. Using the bubble level on the sensor as a guide, adjust the sensor until it is level

by tightening or loosening the screws.

6. Repeat the above process to install an additional sensor. Replace the rain

collector cone when finished.

Note: Final leveling of the sensor(s) should be done with the ISS mounted in its operating

location.

Routing the Sensor Cable

Run the cables down from the Sensor Mounting Shelf and through the holes near
under it on the rain collector base. Next, run the cables through the space between
the rain collector and the radiation shield, following the other sensor cables to the
access port at the back of the transmitter shelter.

Open the shelter and remove the foam insert, and guide the cable through the
access port. Insert the sensor plug into the proper receptacle (marked “SUN” for
the Solar Radiation Sensor or “UV” for the UV Sensor) and replace the foam
insert, ensuring that the foam insert fills all large voids in the access port. Ensure
that the cables are free of crimps and are dressed so that they will not fray in the
wind.

Tip:

Slide flat cables to the left to make more room in the access port.
