The Multispectral Radiometer (MSR) System is shipped partially assembled. The MSR program is pre-installed and pre-configured in the Data Logger Controller (DLC). The following instructions and pictures show how to complete the assembly and the installation of the MSR Software.

After removing the equipment from the shipping containers,

1. Attach the MSR Mounting Bracket (MSRMB) on the pole. Note: The pole you received may look different than the pole pictured here, however the attachment of the Mounting Bracket will be the same.

   Pull the detent knob (at right in picture below) and extend the inner pole section:

   Position the MSR Mounting Bracket (MSRMB) over the end of the pole:

   Insert the carriage bolt, turn on the wing nut, but do not tighten yet. This makes aligning and inserting the screw easier, in the next step:

   Insert the bracket position retaining screw in the desired mounting bracket position hole. The position shown is probably the most likely used position, but will depend on your particular application:

   Tighten both the position retaining screw and the the wing nut on the carriage bolt. Be sure the square part of the carriage bolt fits into the square hole of the MSR mounting bracket:

2. Attach the MSR Spirit Level Attachemt (MSRSLA), CT100 Mounting Bracket (CT100B), and Radiometer on the pole.

   It is suggested that the CT100B be positioned just above where you would likely hold the pole, allowing you to both hold the pole and operate the CT100 hand terminal, to initiate scans, with the same hand. It is suggested to mount the MSRSLA at approximately knee height such that you can look nearly straight down at it to par level the radiometer prior to initiating a scan, during normal operation.
   Loosen the two black knurled thumb knobs on the Radiometer, slip into the two slots on MSR Mounting Bracket and then hand tighten (see below).

3. Par level adjust the Radiometer and the MSR Spirit Level Attachment.

   Position the Radiometer and pole up against a vertical wall or door as shown above, with the Radiometer flush against the wall. Place the line level on top of the radiometer, as shown below, and reposition the pole, as necessary, to position the bubble in the center of the line level:

   Adjust the MSRSLA on the pole and then position of the L-bracket to center the bubble in the center of the spirit level circle. When in position fully tighten both wing nuts:

4. Attach the Radiometer cable.

   Attach the Radiometer cable, MSR87C-9 to the radiometer and tighten the two retaining screws, either by hand or with a small screw driver. Note: The Radiometer cable color and connector design may vary from that pictured:
   Slip the cable into the white nylon cable retention clip near pole extension adjustment knob near the upper left corner of the CT100 (in picture below). The other end of the MSR87C-9 cable should already be attached to either an MSR Cable Adapter (MSRCA) or MSR Cable Adapter Box (MSRCAB), depending on the particular MSR system ordered.

5. Attach the CT100.

   Attach the CT9M9M-5 cable (end labeled CT100, with gender changer attached to it) to the CT100 Hand Terminal and attach the CT100 to the CT100 mounting bracket already on the the pole:
   Attach the other end of the CT9M9M-5 cable (labeled DLC) to the DLC RS232 connector (on front panel of DLC).

6. Check completed assembly.

   Completed MSR system assembly should appear as follows:

1. Remove the MSR Software CD-ROM from the manila envelope.
