RECAUTIONS
Ensure the mounting surface or structure is suitable for the tilt logger.
Ensure that the concrete material can be suitably drilled and anchors
installed without risk of cracking.
If installing on a horizontal surface, choose a surface that is flat and
stable.
If installing on a vertical surface, verify that the structure can support the
logger and that there is no risk of the logger detaching.
Avoid direct sunlight to minimize its effect on temperature readings. Use
a sunshade if required.
Ensure a clear line of sight to the gateway to enhance battery
performance.
Install the tilt logger with the RSTAR logo or writing legible and right side
up, as this orientation ensures the best calibration accuracy, particularly
concerning temperature calibration.
