  • Page 8: Methane Sensor Orientation

    Temperature and Humidity Sensor (SHT85) Orientation Some SOOFIE sensor boards have removable temperature/relative humidity sensors. When handling the temperature/relative humidity sensor, please do not touch the square white PTFE filter covering the sensor element. The square white PTFE filter must be facing away from the methane sensor and all 4 pins must be aligned in its socket, as shown below.

    Anemometer Relay Board Installation 1. Open SOOFIE box with the attached anemometer using a Phillips #2 screwdriver to remove the six M4x0.7 – 25mm pan head Phillips lid screws to open SOOFIE lid. Ensure the lid sealing gasket remains in lid channel and is not twisted.
  • Page 13 4. Reconnect the anemometer cable to the new anemometer relay board. Existing cable tie may need to be separated for wires to not be strained. 1. Reattach the SOOFIE cover and tighten screws to 9 in-lbs. of torque. Inspect the cover circumference to verify the sealing gasket is properly seated and leak-free.

    1. Power off SOOFIE by removing the RIGHT fuse and then the LEFT fuse. 2. Open SOOFIE box using a Phillips #2 screwdriver to remove the six M4x0.7 – 25mm pan head Phillips lid screws. Ensure the lid sealing gasket remains in lid channel and is not twisted.
  • Page 15 8. Power up the SOOFIE by inserting the LEFT fuse and then the RIGHT fuse. 9. Confirm that the “Cellular” indicator light comes on and remains solid (note: this could take 5-10 minutes). If the light doesn’t come on or fails to become solid after 5-10 minutes, please contact SOOFIE support at (720)-836-0481.

    1. Power off SOOFIE by removing the RIGHT fuse and then the LEFT fuse. 2. Use Phillips #2 screwdriver and remove six M4x0.7 – 25mm pan head Phillips screws to open SOOFIE lid. Ensure lid gasket remains in lid channel and is not twisted. Carefully un-plug all three connections to the sensor board by pulling on the plastic housing.
  • Page 18 Do not touch the white chemical filter. 6. Insert plastic legs into SOOFIE sensor board (push until you hear a click). There are two sets of 4 holes, use the set furthest away from the black header connector (see pictures)
  • Page 19 7. Align the 6 connector pins on electrochemical sensor with the 6 connector receptacles on the sensor board while aligning the 4 legs. Firmly push electrochemical sensor onto the 4 legs of the sensor board until you hear a click from all 4. Ensure equal pressure around both boards to prevent damage to the PCBs. Do not touch the white chemical filter.
  • Page 20 9. Insert Boron/Argon microprocessor into the sensor board, be sure all pins are aligned. 10. Reattach the SOOFIE cover and tighten screws to 9 in-lbs. of torque. Inspect the cover circumference to verify the sealing gasket is properly seated and leak-free.

    1. Power off SOOFIE by removing the RIGHT fuse and then the LEFT fuse. 2. Open SOOFIE box using a Phillips #2 screwdriver to remove the six M4x0.7 – 25mm pan head Phillips lid screws. Ensure the lid sealing gasket remains in lid channel and is not twisted.
  • Page 23 10. The fan should start to spin, if it does not loosen the fan screws as they may have been over tightened. 11. Reattach the SOOFIE cover and tighten screws to 9 in-lbs. of torque. Inspect the cover circumference to verify the sealing gasket is properly seated and leak-free.
  • Page 24: Fuse Installation Issues

    Fuse Installation Issues The fuse holder has a bayonet style connection. 2 tabs on the fuse holder cap must line up with slots in the fuse holder to be inserted. There is a spring in the fuse holder cap that provides force on the fuse to contact points in the fuse holder. The fuse holder cap needs to be pushed in and turned about ¼...
