- Slide the VEML sensor mount into Structure Panel B with the untabbed side first. Mount can be on the left or right side.

- Use two M2.5 bolts and nuts to fasten the VML sensor to the mount with the sensor pointed away from the rounded cutouts.

- Unscrew two of the mounting nuts from the solar panel and side into the top in the notches for Structure Panel B. The wire should be on the same side of Structure Panel B as the slot for the VML sensor. Re-attach the mounting nuts.

- Turn Structure Panel A horizontal, and slide into the large gap in Structure Panel B until the bottom middle notch is over Structure Panel A.

- Rotate Structure Panel A so that it is vertical, and slide until the notches for the two panels are snug.

- Place the SHT31 sensor on Structure Panel A where there are notches for the zip ties so that the cable is away from the center, and use two zip ties to secure at notches (see Figure 4).
