A weighing lysimeter consists of two major components - a metal platform (base and top) and a load cell.
To assemble the weighing lysimeter:
- Attach the load cell to the center of the metal base platform with two hex screws using a 10 mm wrench. Ensure that the load cell is centered.
Make sure the load cell arrow is facing down. Handle the load cell with care as it is a sensitive component. - Attach the load cell wire to the base with the provided fastener and screw.
- Place the top metal plate on the load cell and screw it in using 2 flat head Allen screws. Make sure the plate is centered.
