Grounding The Sensor - Wavetronix SmartSensor Advance User Manual

Insert the cable connector into the sensor connector. Be aware
1
that it is a keyed connector.
Twist the cable connector clockwise until you hear it click into
2
place.
Run the cable through the pole. Leave a small amount of slack
3
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 need to move the sensor's spot on the pole in the future.
If there's excess cable, don't cut it, as you may need it in the
4
future; leave it in the pole.

Grounding the sensor

Connect a 12 AWG grounding wire to the grounding lug on the
1
bottom of the sensor.
If the intersection is bonded, connect the other end of the
2
grounding wire to the earth ground for the pole that the sensor
is mounted on.

Chapter 2: Installing the SmartSensor Advance
Note. If you can't run
the cable through the
pole, run it instead
through a conduit
affixed to the pole.
Note. Be careful
of electrostatic
discharge (ESD)
when handling
the SmartSensor
Advance before and
during installation.
ESD triggered by
the sensor handler,
particularly on the
outer grounding
lug before being
properly grounded,
may cause
harmful effects
to the Advance
components.
