Note: When mounting the enclosure to a tripod, position it low on the tripod to reduce turbulence that may affect eddy covariance flux measurements. A low mounting position also will reduce wind resistance, thereby reducing wind load on the structure.

• Orient the enclosure vertically, with the openings facing the ground, for the best protection from water ingress.
• Ground the enclosure. Attach a ground wire between the system ground in the enclosure and a grounded lug on the tripod or a dedicated ground rod.
• Plug vacant holes with the red enclosure plugs (in place upon shipment, part number 620-12831).
• Stuff a piece of metallic wool into holes that are used for cable routing.
• Use zip ties to secure the cables to the strain relief couplings on the enclosure.
