There are three ways to identify the radio module in your METER Group data logger. By the Label, via Software, or Visual inspection.

Label

You can identify the module type by checking the label located on the inside of the data logger door panel (ZL6, EM60G, EM50G), or by removing the rain funnel on the ATMOS 41W.

  • Open the data logger enclosure.
  • Look for a label near the top of the inside door that lists the module name.

ATMOS 41W
  • To remove the funnel, press the rain funnel down to compress the internal spring. Twist the funnel counter-clockwise to unlock it from the ATMOS 41W base.
  • Look for a label on the side of the ATMOS 41W base.
