Running transducer cable

The Wind Vane is supplied with sufficient cable already connected, to
run from the mounted position to the ST60 Club House Wind
instrument. The manner in which you run the cable will depend on the
locations of the transducer and instrument. The following guidelines
are provided:
• Where cables are fed through holes, always use grommets to
prevent chafing.
• Secure long cable runs so they do not present a hazard.
• The transducer cable is fitted with spade connectors for direct
connection to the rear of the instrument. However, it may be
necessary to remove these to facilitate installation, e.g. if you want
incorporate a junction box in the cable run or if the cable has to be
routed through narrow apertures. Extra spade connectors are
provided, to replace any that are removed when running the cable.
In order to ensure a secure connection when fitting spade
connectors, fold back the wire strands as shown in the following
illustration, before inserting the wire in the spade connector. Ensure
the wire strands do not extend beyond the rear of the spade
connector insulation.
