7. Secure the sensor to the mounting surface by driving the screws into the appropriate

holes as shown below.

8. Using the bubble level on the sensor as a guide, adjust the sensor until it is level by

tightening or loosening the screws as necessary.

9. Secure the sensor cable to the mounting surface. You may use the provided 3/16" cable

clamp, #8-32 x 3/4" screw, #8 hex nut, and #8 ﬂat washer if possible.

Routing Sensor Cable

To prevent fraying or cutting of the

cable where it is exposed to weather,

secure it so it doesn't whip about in

the wind. Use cable clips or weather

resistant cable ties to secure the

cable. Place clips or ties approxi-

mately every 3 to 5 feet (1 to 1.6 m).

Do NOT use metal staples or a staple

gun to secure cables. Metal staples—

especially when installed with a sta-

ple gun—have a tendency to cut the

cables.

Note: Try not to tug on the cable in such a way as to loosen the connections between cables. Also,

make sure the sensor cable is not so taut that connections loosen or pull free due to the

strain. Many sensor problems occur because cable connections come loose.
