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.

Connecting the cable

Figure 11. Cable run through pole (left) and through conduit (right)
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 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
4
time; leave it in the pole.
