Level the pyranometer as indicated in Figure 4.6-1. Adjust the three leveling
screws until the bubble level indicates plumb. Remove the red cap from the
pyranometer.

4.7 Soil Temperature Sensor (Optional)
Bury the soil temperature sensor at the desired depth. To minimize solar
loading of the sensor cable, bury the cable between the tower base and the
sensor.
4.8 Sensor Verification and Clock Set
Check the measurements of all sensors after the datalogger is programmed.
Display measurements using the *6 Mode with the CR10KD (refer to the
laminated prompt sheet, or the Monitor Mode of the PC208 Datalogger
