INSTALLATION Table 1 Installation (continued) Conduct System Check METER strongly recommends setting up and testing the system (sensors and data loggers) in the lab or office. Inspect and verify all components are intact. Visit the data logger product page for the most up-to-date software and firmware.
The Apogee Quantum sensor must be level to accurately measure PPFD incident on a horizontal surface. Each Apogee Quantum sensor purchased from METER comes with an AL-120 Solar Mounting Bracket with Leveling Plate. The AL-120 can be mounted to either a horizontal or vertical post, depending on which set of holes is used.
Use ZENTRA Utility to set the measurement interval. Use ZENTRA Utility to configure communication settings for data transfer to ZENTRA Cloud. Sensor data can be downloaded from METER data loggers using either ZENTRA Utility or ZENTRA Cloud. Refer to the logger user manual for more information.
Customer Support for a replacement connector or splice kit. If a cable is damaged refer to the METER wire-splicing guide cable repair. It is recommended that Apogee Quantum sensors are returned for factory recalibration every 2 years. Visit Apogee repairs (apogeeinstruments.com/recalibration-and-repairs) or contact...
