The AIO module increases the number of data channels. Biomet packages include one or two modules.

Enclosure Accessories Kit

Accessories Kit Part Number 9979-007

The enclosure accessories kit includes the components listed below.

Mounting Brackets

Mounting Bracket Part Number 9979-021

The 33 cm mounting kit is used to mount the enclosure to a tripod or tower.

Risers

Elevate the datalogger to provide access to cable terminals. Secures the battery in the enclosure. Risers are installed prior to delivery.

Strain Relief Fittings

Strain Relief Fitting Part Number 6579-040

Three 1.5 inch drilled PVC couplings to relieve strain from the wire connections. Includes 3 couplings and 3 lock-nuts (part number 259-12760).

Cap Plugs

Three large red tapered cap plugs and one small plug (part numbers 620-12831 and 620-16842) are included to cover any un-used openings in the enclosure when it is deployed.

Coarse Wool 3-pack

Coarse metal wool is to cover openings in the enclosure when they accommodate cables. The metallic wool will help keep insects from inhabiting the enclosure and prevent water from splashing into the openings.

Wire Leads

A selection of wire leads is included to complete installation of some sensors. All wires are 18 AWG.
