Install the extra manual rain gauge within the vicinity of the climate
station (at least 6 m away from it). This rain gauge can be used as a backup and to check for
the accuracy of extreme rainfall events (> 50 mm/hour) (see Section 6.4 below).

Once all the sensors and power sources are connected together, it is important to seal and secure the
enclosure so the data logger, battery and connectors are in a stable environment and protected
against the elements, insects and other threats that can compromise the integrity of the equipment.

Connect the green cable (12 AWG) coming from the bottom of
the enclosure to the ground lug terminal in the data logger (below the Power In terminals). See
the “Grounding the data logger and climate station” video on the TEAM portal
(http://www.teamnetwork.org/en/protocols/climate).
