Installation

7.2 Mast cable routing

The mast cable can be either routed inside or along the outside of the mast.
When routing the cable inside the mast, the mast cable exit can be located
under the mounting plate. The mounting plate includes a cable recess for
this purpose.
To keep the size of any holes that need to be drilled for cable routing to a
minimum, route the mast cable from the transducer location using the bare
wire end first.
• Ensure sufficient slack at the transducer end so that the wind transducer
can be disconnected if necessary
• When drilling routing holes ensure they are large enough for the mast
cable which has an approximately diameter of 5 mm (0.20 in).
• The cable should be secured at regular intervals using cable clips.
• Excess cable can be cut once the cable has been routed to the gateway.
