b) Place the pole in the center of the hole.

c) Fill the hole with concrete and level with a plumb.

d) Cover the top of the pole with extra concrete to avoid water seeping into it.

2. Installing the rain gauge: The rain gauge can be mounted on top of the pole using a

special mounting bracket (CM240). To install the rain gauge remove the cover using an

Allen wrench and lift it upward to expose the base, tipping mechanism and bubble level.

Adjust the nuts on the CM240 bracket to level the base precisely. Remove the rubber

band securing the tipping mechanism to ensure it works freely (IF THIS IS NOT DONE

NO DATA WILL BE COLLECTED). Two pieces of flexible tubing can be attached to

the drainage plugs underneath the gauge. Cover the end of the tubes with plastic mesh or

other protection to ensure ants and other insects do not enter the rain gauge.

3. Routing the cables: To avoid damage to the cable it is best to bury it underground from

the base of the climate station to where the data logger is. It is best to lay down ½” PVC

pipe 10-20 cm below the ground and pass the cable through the PVC rather than bury it

unprotected. Route the cables through the enclosure and connect to the data logger

following the wiring diagram enclosed with the data collection program.

3.18 Secure the weather resistant enclosure

Equipment/supplies needed

• Ground cable

• Plastic cable ties

• Enclosure putty sealant

• Humidity indicator

• Electrical tape

• Two large Zorbit packs

• Padlock

• Fencing

Once all the sensors and power sources are connected together, it is important to seal and secure

the enclosure so the data logger, battery and connectors are in a stable environment and protected

against the elements, insects and other threats that can compromise the integrity of the

equipment.

1. Ground the data logger. Connect the green cable (12 AWG) coming from the bottom of

the enclosure to the ground lug terminal in the data logger (below the Power In

terminals). See the “Grounding the data logger and climate station” video on the TEAM

portal (http://www.teamnetwork.org/en/protocols/threat/climate).

2. Ground the enclosure. Connect the green cable coming from the ground rod to the

ground lug in the bottom of the enclosure.
