The instructions for assembling the Radiation Shield differ slightly if you plan
to mount the Radiation Shield on top of a wooden post. Follow the instructions
below if (and only if) you plan to ultimately mount the Radiation Shield on top
of a wooden post.
Attaching Mounting Bracket
To attach the mounting bracket you will need a closed plate, the mounting
bracket, three 1/2” spacers, three #8 x 2 3/4” pan head screws, six #8 flat wash-
ers, three #8 split lock washers, and three #8 hex nuts. You will also need a drill
with a 3/16” (4.7 mm) drill bit.
Note: You will need to supply three #8 x 1” screws if you plan to mount the Radiation Shield over the top of
the post (not preferred), instead of suspending it over the side edge.
MOUNTING ON TOP OF A POST
1. Using the power drill with 3/16” (4.7 mm) drill bit, drill three holes through one of the
closed plates in the locations marked by the small dimples on the bottom of the plate.
Do not use the closed plate to which you attached the sensor.
