    A possible electrostatic discharge can cause damage for the instrument. Do not touch the internal terminals! Water / Vapor To achieve suitable ingress protection GF recommends using the suggested cable outer diameter and properly secure the cable gland. GF also recommends routing the connecting cables downwards to divert rain water or condensed water away from Transmitter.
