Connecting The Cable - Wavetronix SmartSensor HD User Manual

Note. The HD sensor
uses an 8-conductor
cable that can
be ordered from
Wavetronix. It's also
possible to order a
retrofit HD with a
legacy connector;
this would use the
older 9-conductor
SmartSensor cable.
Note. When you run
the cable through the
pole, don't drill through
the sensor mount, as
the sensor and sensor
mount may need to be
adjusted in the future.

Tear the tab off the tube of silicon dielectric compound that came
with the sensor.

Squeeze about half of the compound on the connector at the base of
the sensor.

Connecting the cable

Figure 12. Cable run through pole (left) and through conduit (right)
1 Insert the cable connector into the sensor connector. Be aware that it
is a keyed connector.
2 Twist the cable connector clockwise until you hear it click into place.
3 Run the cable through the pole. Leave a small amount of slack at the
top; this reduces strain, allows you to create a drip loop as shown
above, and gives you something to work with should you someday
need to move the sensor to a different spot on the pole.

If there's excess cable, don't cut it, as you may need it at a later time;
leave it in the pole.
