Campbell Scientific CSBUOY-NS Buoy System - Manual (Page 13)

Section 3. CSBUOY Installation
3.1 Site Selection
The site should represent the general area being measured. Placement should
allow the buoy to float freely without obstruction from the bottom of the water
compound being monitored. The buoy solar panel should not have any
obstruction from full sunlight. Keep away from overhanging trees or other
obstructions. The solar panel should be angled towards the south to maximize
full solar capabilities.

Ensure that each wire is in the proper place on the CR206. Connect the battery
cable to the battery. Using a wrench, tighten the Heyco Pressure fitting to
ensure a watertight seal around the sensor cables exiting the instrument
housing. Insert the instrument mounting bracket into the instrument
housing, paying particular attention that the cable are not pinched. Tighten the
instrument housing lid.
With a wrench, tighten the vent plug into the float.
Attach the solar panel to the solar panel brackets. Tighten the connection
with the thumb screws.
Secure the mooring eye-bolts to a mooring line or the anchor eye-bolt to the
anchor line to secure placement of buoy in desired location.
