Using phone cables or connections may damage your sensors because phone cables and connections have more resistance than the La Crosse Technology extension cable. Phone cables or connections are not recommended for use.
Once the wind sensor is fixed onto the mast, connect the cable to the corresponding thermo-hygro sensor socket so that operating power supply can be received and data can be transmitted to the base station. Secure cord from blowing. Do not use staples. Using PVC pipe or metal as a mast may cause static. Wood is recommended.
