TEAM Climate Monitoring Protocol 3.0

Replace the top cover of the cabling box: Once the sensors are connected to the cabling box

replace the top of the box ensuring the sensor terminal cables feed out of the rubberized wedge

located on one side of the cabling box cover. Make sure that the sensor terminal cables are not

tensed inside the box, and tighten the screws of the cover to secure it firmly.

Positioning the sensors inside the shield: With the sensor cables secured, slide the sensor into

one of the large plastic retaining brackets and push to the bottom of the tube until it cannot go

any further (remove the small retaining brackets to create more space). Coil the sensor cable into

2-3 loops and secure at a couple of places, so it does not interfere with the fan once the shield is

assembled. Repeat the same process with the other sensor and position the sensors so they don’t

touch the walls of the tube directly (they can touch each other).

Mount the shield on a cross arm: The top of the shield can be mounted at the end of a sensor

cross arm (CM202) and at a height of 2 m from the ground. Slide the shield into the cross arm

and tighten the Phillips screws so it does not slide.

Assemble the rest of the shield: Position the shield tube on the base of the roof and secure with

the four clamps. Connect the power cable (4 pin connector coming off the side of the box) and

the sensor cable (10 pin connector next to the tube). Route these cables along the cross arm and

down to the enclosure. Wrap wire (or plastic straps) around the cables so they are secure to the

cross-arm and the tower.

Connect the terminals from the sensor cable to the CR1000: There should be 10 individually

colored cables at the end of the sensor master cable. Remove the U-shaped pre-wire connectors if

there are any at the end of the cables. Using a cable cutter, strip about 1 cm of the plastic shield

to expose the bare cable. Using the diagram in Figure 10 connect the cables to correspondent

connectors in the data logger.

Connect the power and tachometer cables to the data logger: Following the same process

connect the power cable (which carries the tachometer signal) in the appropriate slots in the data

logger (make sure the power cable goes into the SW-12 V slot)(see Figure 11).
