Install The Sensor So That It Is Level; Watchdog Data Logger Inside Mini-Radiation Shield - Spectrum Technologies WatchDog 3670I Product Manual

The 3670I Silicon Pyranometer Sensor includes a 6 foot
(1.8m) data cable; which is plugged into an available
external port on WatchDog weather station or data
logger. Once the sensor is in a representative "micro-
climate", insert the data cable plug into the WatchDog
external channel to log solar radiation data.
Use SpecWare software to program the WatchDog to log
solar radiation on the desired port. Refer to the
SpecWare Instruction Manual for detailed launch and/or
readout instructions
Install the sensor so that it is level. Once the sensor is
mounted, use the adjustment screws to level the sensor
so that the bubble is centered on the level indicator.
Mount the sensor on a 1" to 1¼" mast or pipe using the u-
bolt provided.
Position the sensor in an appropriate area that monitors
the plant conditions. Make sure the sensor is not being
shadowed or blocked by another external sensor.
Contact your cooperative extension agricultural agent for
further suggestions on field placement.
Inspect the sensors frequently to make certain the
sensors are still level and clear of obstructions.
Place sensor in a
position that it will
mimic the sunlight
the plant is getting,
while being within
reach of external
WatchDog data port.
