Mounting the LI-710
The LI-710 can be deployed as a stand-alone sensor, in a weather station, or as part
of an eddy covariance flux station. It mounts readily to hardware that is common to
irrigation infrastructure, weather stations, and other equipment.

The LI-710 can be attached to a standard ¾" crossover fitting or any other fitting
