20.6 Data logger enclosures
The data logger and most of its peripherals must be protected from moisture and humidity.
Moisture in the electronics will seriously damage the data logger. In most cases, protection from
moisture is easily accomplished by placing the data logger in a weather-tight enclosure with
desiccant and elevating the enclosure above the ground. Desiccant in enclosures should be
changed periodically.
WARNING:
Do not completely seal the enclosure if lead-acid batteries are present; hydrogen gas
generated by the batteries may build to an explosive concentration.
The following details a typical installation using a Campbell Scientific enclosure. The data logger
has mounting holes through which small screws are inserted into nylon anchors in the backplate.
