2.9.2 Sealing and Desiccating the Enclosure

The ET Enclosure is supplied with two desiccant packs. The desiccant

maintains a low humidity in the enclosure to minimize the chance of

condensation on the instrumentation. Desiccant should be changed when the

internal ET Enclosure humidity sensor measures 50% or higher. Install the

desiccant as shown in FIGURE 2-51. Keep unused desiccant tightly sealed in

an airtight container.

Putting desiccant into the station should be the very last thing that

is done after all other weather station installation steps have been

completed.

1) Take the desiccant packs out of the plastic bag. Strap the packs into the

desiccant holder inside the lid of the enclosure using the two Velcro straps.

2) Be sure to close the enclosure hasp securely. A padlock may be used on

the latch for extra security.
