Wired Extension Cable.
When you require additional length to properly mount your sensor,
you can use a Wired Extension Cable. The Extension Cable is 10
metres in length and comes with the appropriate connecter attached.
Please visit your local electrical retailer to purchase.
Phone cable and connections have more resistance than our exten-
sion cable and is not recommended for use. Using phone ca-
ble/connection may damage your sensors.
Warning: Never cut, splice, shorten, or modify your sensor cables or
extension cables. Doing so may damage your sensors and will void
your Warranty.
Please Note: On all stations with corded sensors, the thermo-hygro
sensor powers the Wind and Rain sensors. Therefore, adding exten-
sions to a battery only unit will shorten battery life in the thermo-hygro
sensor.
Wired Extension Cables
When securing the cables during mounting, ensure that the base
station can receive the weather data since increasing the cables
length may also increase levels of interference and result with
reception difficulties. Interference levels will greatly depend on the
surrounding area for example setting up on or near metal piping may
considerably reduce reception.
For best results, do not add more than 100 metres of extension cable
from item to item onto the existing cable lengths as this may reduce
reception levels. Again, reception and interference levels will greatly
depend on the surrounding environment at your point of mounting.
Note:
It is important to keep all the connected extension heads away from
rain, moisture and other extreme weather conditions as exposure can
cause short circuits and damage to this item.
