8. Mount the IRGASON temperature probe so that it measures temperature at

the same height as the sample volume of the IRGASON. To do this, first

attach the R.M. Young 41303-5A 6-Plate Solar Radiation Shield (pn 4020)

to the mast with the included u-bolt. Next, insert the end of the probe into

the hole on the bottom of the shield. Tighten the screws to hold the probe

in place. See FIGURE 6-4. For more detailed information about the

temperature probe installation and specifications, refer to the Model 107

Temperature Probe manual, which is available at

.

9. Remove the EC100- enclosure desiccant from the plastic bag and place it

in the mesh pocket of the enclosure. Attach the humidity indicator card to

the inside of the enclosure.

6.3 Wiring and Connections

FIGURE 6-5, FIGURE 6-6, and FIGURE 6-7 show the EC100 electronics

panel, the bottom of the EC100 enclosure, and sensor connections to the

EC100, respectively. Refer to these figures during wiring and connecting.

1. Find the thicker black cable coming from the block of the IRGASON.

This is the IRGASON gas-analyzer cable. Connect this cable to the

EC100 electronics by removing the black-rubber cable entry plug (pn

26224) on the bottom right of the EC100 enclosure. (This plug can be

stored in the mesh pocket of the enclosure). Next, insert the cable entry

plug that is attached to the cable into the vacant slot. Push the connector at

the end of the cable onto its mating connector (labeled Gas Analyzer) and

tighten the thumbscrews (see FIGURE 6-5). The gas analyzer cable is

approximately 3 meters in length.
