2. Before mounting the rain shield onto a tripod, first mount the electronics
box inside the rain shield. Remove the four pan-head screws from the
back panel of the rain shield. Align the electronics box, and use the four
pan-head screws to secure the electronics box onto the back panel. Make
sure the electronics box is pushed all the way up, and the screws are
positioned at the bottom of the mounting slot on the electronics box (see
Figure 2). This will provide enough room to attach the connectors to the
bottom of the electronics box later on.
FIGURE 2. Proper mounting position of the electronics box.
If the electronics box is not pushed all the way up during
mounting, you will not have enough room to attach the
connectors to the bottom of the electronics box, as the U-bolt for
the rain shield will block the position of the connectors. NOTE
3. Mount the rain shield onto the tripod or tower mast using the U-bolt
provided. Make sure that the distance between the KH20 sensor head and
the rain shield is within 5 feet so that the cables from the sensor head will
be within reach of the electronics box. Also make sure that the rain shield
is mounted vertically with an opening pointing downward so that the rain
will effectively run down the rain shield and not penetrate inside.
