5. If using the industrial version
of the sensor, secure the cable
to the mounting surface using
the cable clamp, a #4 x 1/2"
screw, and a #4 washer.
6. Connect the sensor cable to
the junction box/SIM.
Routing Sensor Cable
To prevent fraying or cutting of the cable where it is exposed to weather, it is
important that you 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 approximately every 3 to 5 feet (1 to 1.5 m).
CAUTION: Do not use metal staples or a staple gun to secure cables. Metal staples—especially when
installed with a staple gun—have a tendency to cut the cables.
Securing cable (standard cable shown)
Note: When running the sensor cable, try not to tug on the cable in such a way as to loosen the connec-
tions 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. If you
need to check the cable connection to the sensor itself, see the section below.
