Connecting the Sensor Cable
Once you mount the radiation shield, you can then connect the sensor cable
with the appropriate connector on the junction box/sensor interface module
(SIM). Consult your weather station owner’s manual for further details.
Securing the Sensor Cable
To prevent fraying or cutting of the cable or wires where they are exposed to
weather, you must secure them so they do not lash about in the wind. To secure
the cable and wires you need to:
✦ 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).
✦ Avoid using metal staples or a staple gun to secure cables or wires since metal
staples installed with a staple gun can cut the cable and wires.
✦ Avoid tugging on the sensor cable when you run it. Leaving the connection taut
may cause strain and the cable may pull free.
