4. Install Sensors
Install sensors according to the
user manuals. Plug the sensor
connectors into the ZL6 sensor
ports. Secure cables to mounting
post with some cable slack.
Configure measurement interval
and sensor settings using
ZENTRA Utility or ZENTRA
Utility Mobile. Review sensor
instantaneous measurements to
verify the installed sensors are
working.
3. Fasten Logger to
Mounting Post
Use included zip ties to attach the
ZL6 to a mounting post.
Ensure the logger is installed in
an upright position to reduce the
possibility of water entering the
ZL6 enclosure.

1. Select Location
Choose a location and orientation
to give the solar panel the
maximum amount of sunlight.
Consider vegetation cover
throughout the season, distance
from power lines, livestock,
metallic objects, etc.
2. Check Cellular Signal
Use the Cellular Test feature of
ZENTRA Utility or ZENTRA Utility
Mobile to check the quality of
the cellularsignal at the chosen
location.
If the test fails, move to an
alternative location (sometimes
moving only a few meters is
sufficient).
