A Note On Securing Cables - DAVIS 6331 User Manual

Install the Sensor(s)
Install the sensors as described in User Guide that came with the sensor.
Note: User Guides are available on our website in the Support Section, or on each product's description
page.
Anemometer: You can use the anemometer that came with your Vantage Pro2 sensor
suite or use Anemometer (#6410).
The anemometer can be mounted either on a pole or on a vertical surface such as a
fencepost. Remember to mount it so the anemometer arm is extending northward.
(Otherwise, you will need to calibrate the wind direction on your receiver for accurate
wind directions. See your Vantage Pro2 or Vantage Vue console manual for
instructions.) The Sensor Transmitter also can be mounted on a pole or on a vertical
surface.
The anemometer cable should be plugged into the receptacle in the sensor interface
labeled "WIND."
Rain Collector: Use either the AeroCone Rain Collector with Flat Base (#6463) or the
AeroCone Rain Collector with Mountable Base (#6465). Plug the sensor cable into the
receptacle labeled "RAIN" in the sensor interface.
Temperature Probe: Use either the Stainless Steel Temperature Probe with RJ
Connector (#6475) or the Temperature Probe with RJ Connector (#6477). Plug the
sensor cable into the receptacle labeled "TEMP/HUM" in the sensor interface.
Temperature & Humidity Sensor: For inside temperature/humidity, use the
Temperature/Humidity Sensor (#6834). For outside temperature/humidity, use either the
Temperature/Humidity Sensor with Radiation Shield (#6830), or the
Temperature/Humidity Sensor with 24-Hour Fan-Aspirated Radiation Shield (#6832).
Plug the sensor cable into the receptacle labeled "TEMP/HUM" in the sensor interface.
UV Sensor: Use UV Sensor (#6490) and Universal Mounting Bracket (#6670). Plug the
sensor cable into the receptacle labeled "UV" in the sensor interface.
Solar Radiation Sensor: Use Solar Radiation Sensor (#6450) and Universal Mounting
Bracket (#6670). Plug the sensor cable into the receptacle labeled "SUN" in the sensor
interface.

A Note on Securing Cables

To prevent fraying or cutting of cables, secure them so
they will not whip about in the wind. Secure a cable to
a metal pole by wrapping electrical tape around them
both. Make sure cables are secure by placing clips or
ties approximately every 3 – 5' (1 – 1.6 m).
Note: Do not use metal staples or a staple gun to secure cables. Metal staples—especially when
installed with a staple gun—have a tendency to cut the cables.
If you haven't used the entire length of anemometer cable, secure the remaining coil by
taping it to the pole, or hanging it on a hook on the post. Place the coil at least 6" away
from the antenna.
