Proper connection between the PAR sensors (LI-COR) and their cable is crucial for deployment success.

Both LI-192 and LI-193 have a two-pin connector with a small yellow mark on the side.

Always align this yellow mark with the tab on the side of the cable connector when connecting the sensor to its cable.

After connecting the cable to the PAR sensor, confirm that the yellow mark and the connector tab are aligned, and then put the white locking sleeve in place. The sensor is ready for deployment.

Ensure proper orientation of the yellow mark and the tab before each deployment. Inverted connection of your PAR sensor will result in incorrect or lost data.
