Do not overtighten the nut that holds in the probe as the probe could
be damaged.
Figure 1. HMP45C and 41003-5 Radiation Shield on a Tripod Mast
3.1 Specific instructions for the URS1 Radiation Shield
A typical radiation shield for the HMP45C is shown in Figure 1. This shield, as
sold by Campbell Scientific, is supplied with an adapter that enables the
HMP45C to be fitted and detached as follows:
1. Loosen the large retaining nut at the bottom of the shield until it turns freely.
2. Gently insert the HMP45C through the centre of the nut.
3. During insertion, observe the probe by looking through the radiation shield
between the lowest curved plate and the flat white disc at the bottom of the
housing – see Figure 2. The tip of the probe will pass through a hole in a
white rubber sealing membrane that is mounted on the upper surface of the
flat white disc.
4. Continue to carefully insert the probe until the larger section of the probe
body (the ‘handle’) emerges through the sealing membrane – see Figure 2
(a).
