8.1 Enclosure, Datalogger, Power Supply
8.1.1 Enclosure
All instrumentation (datalogger, power supply, and communication
peripherals) are mounted in the enclosure. A PVC bulkhead port is installed in
the enclosure for routing the sensor and communication cables to the
instrumentation.
The “-TM” option is used to attach our enclosures to a UT10 tower. An
enclosure ordered with the “-TM” option will be shipped with a three-piece
bracket mounted to the top of the enclosure and an identical three-piece bracket
mounted to the bottom of the enclosure. This mounting bracket option uses the
same three-piece brackets as the “-MM” option, except the pieces are
rearranged so that the flanges are on the side of the bracket instead of in the
middle. The distance between the centers of each flange needs to be 10.25 in
(see FIGURE 8-1, FIGURE 8-2, and FIGURE 8-3).
Attach the enclosure to the UT10’s tower legs as follows:
1. Position the enclosure on the north side of the tower.
2. Place the enclosure at the desired height. Please note that the
recommended lead lengths for our sensors assume the bottom of the
enclosure is mounted 3 ft from the ground.
3. Use the furnished 1.5 in U-bolts to secure the enclosure to the tower legs.
4. Route the 14 AWG wire from the brass tower grounding clamp to the
enclosure grounding lug. Strip one inch of insulation from each end of the
wire and insert the end of the wire into the grounding lugs and tighten
