    • Locate the old style electrically isolated carrier board. If pins are soldered on, remove and solder on a 2 and 3 plug header or one 5-plug header.

    • Once the new attachments are soldered on, proceed to put the temperature circuit board into the connection holes. The black square of the circuit board should face towards the soldered attachments.

    • Cut wires to approximately 6 1/2 inches to allow enough length to secure the wires into the 5-plug header.

    • Refer to the temperature section of the wiring diagram when wiring the adapter.

    • Put the battery into the node enclosure between the area of the standoffs

    • Place the board with the modem and the GPS antenna onto the standoffs and GENTLY screw the board in place. Then stick the modem and GPS in the locations highlighted.

    • Stick the carrier boards onto the sides of the interior. Make sure to place the carrier in their respective location highlighted.

    • Follow the wiring diagram when wiring the carrier boards to the circuit board.

    • Obtain USB power supply, plug into a laptop, and set output to 5.9V

    • Check the voltage with a voltmeter (you may have to set the power supply to ~5.8V for the voltmeter to read 5.9V)

    • Plug in the green terminal block from the power supply into the Open-Storm board solar port.

    • Confirm the solar charge LED is off.

    • Plug in a dead battery to the battery port. This step will not work with a charged battery

    • CAREFULLY turn the silver potentiometer next to the charge controller IC with a small flathead screw driver until the charge light turns on.

    • Although the screw has a phillip screw head, using a phillip screwdriver may damage the potentiometer. The hole in the center is too shallow for most screwdrivers. It is easier to use a flathead screwdriver!

    • Using a zip tie, tie both of the sensor's cables together. Since the DO's cable is longer, make a loop to shorten its length

    • Using hose clamps, secure the cables and the sensors along the struct channel

    • The sensor lights in the node should be turned on

    • Attach the lock to the side of the node

    • Make sure to twist the cable gland so that the wires are snug together

    • If the DO readings emit a reading of 0 mg/L then:

    • Make sure the DO circuit board is facing the correct orientation (refer to step 2)

    • Make sure that the jumper wires are connected correctly and securely. Likewise, check if the RX and TX wires are swapped.

    • Check the connection between the adapter cable and the housing of the DO sensor to see if it is tight and sealed.

    • Make sure there is adequate electrolyte solution in the cap of the DO sensor.

    • If the steps above fail, replace the DO sensor circuit board.

    • If the DO readings emit a reading of 100,000 mg/L then:

    • Replace the DO sensor circuit board.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
