3. Stabilize cable connections. The ends of the cables coming from the sensors or power

sources should be securely attached to their terminals and maintain no tension over the

connections in the terminals. Bundle cables together with plastic wire ties and fix the

attached wire tie tabs to the side of the box using electrical tape to relieve tension to the

terminals.

4. Seal up the enclosure. Use the enclosed putty to completely seal the bottom entrance of

the enclosure. Affix the humidity indicator to the inside of the box and leave a couple of

silica gel packs to absorb the moisture. It is recommended also to drop in two large

pillows of Zorbit (a substance that regulates humidity inside the box). For security

reasons it is also a good idea to attach a padlock to the enclosure lock.

5. Organize and tidy up the cables. Walk around the tower and make sure no cables are

dangling or loose. Secure any hanging cables with plastic ties or electrical tape.

6. Install a fence. It is highly recommended to install an open fence (or paling) around the

periphery of the core area (WMO 2008). This will keep animals and intruders out and

protect the integrity of the core area. In areas where elephants are present, the fence

might have to be taller and stronger.

3.19 Test run the station

It is a good idea to run the station for a week to make sure everything is working as expected.

Turn on/connect the battery to the data logger, close the door and lock it.

1. Getting the data out: After a few days, go back to the station and extract the memory

card by pressing the white button in front of the memory card adapter. As soon as it turns

green, open the door of the adapter and push the button to eject the memory card. Do not

be concerned about losing any data when removing the card; the data logger will keep

collecting data, which will be stored in its internal memory. Put in a new specially

formatted, empty memory card as soon as possible.

2. Read the data into the computer: You will need Campbell’s PC200W software to

extract the binary data from the memory card and convert it to a text file. Insert the card

in a memory card reader and open the PC200W software.

3. Create local storage directory: Establish a local directory to store Climate

Measurement Files in your computer.

4. Convert the file from the card into a readable format: To upload the data from the

memory card, the file must first be converted to a readable format. To do this, use the

software that came with the data logger and follow the steps below.

a) From the PC200W Tools menu, select Card Convert. This will open up the Card

Convert Window (see Figure 3).

b) Click the Select the Card Drive button and choose the Source directory.

c) In the Source Filename column you should see the data logger output file (CL-XXX-

1.CLData.dat). Make sure the box next to it is checked.
