1. Cutting the sensor cables. In order to connect the sensors to the shield cabling box, the
sensor cables must be cut so that all of the inner wires are accessible. It is a good idea to
leave enough cable intact so moving a sensor does not cause wires to come loose, but
keep in mind that leaving too much of the cable intact can take up a lot of space and may
cause the shield to malfunction. Try to cut the cable to a length that allows free
movement for the sensors, but won’t interfere with the functioning of the radiation shield
(there should be enough cable left to be coiled into 2-3 small loops).
Note: There is one extra green wire in the sensor cable bundle of the American version
of the sensor. For the European version of the sensor, there is an extra yellow wire. The
extra yellow wire can be ignored because it is not used in this protocol. You can watch a
video of the connecting process called “Connecting the temperature and relative humidity
sensors” on the TEAM portal in the Climate Protocol section
(http://www.teamnetwork.org/en/protocols/threat/climate).
2. Connecting the sensor cables. The shield is designed to connect the sensor cables
directly into a wiring box on the top of the tube (the J-Box in the instructions of the
shield). Unscrew the top of the cabling box to expose the connectors. The cabling box
contains room for 10 cables (there are 12 slots but only 10 are wired), which is enough to
connect two Vaisala Temperature/RH sensors. If you are using the American version of
the sensors follow the diagram in Figure 13 on the next page to connect the sensor cables
to the shield cabling box. For those using the European version refer to Figure 14 on
page 31.
