Finishing the Sensor Connections to the Station
1. Secure sensor cables to the cable
tie mounts located next to the
grommets.
2. To prevent fraying or cutting of
cables, secure them so they will not whip
about in the wind. Secure a cable to a metal
pole by wrapping electrical tape around
them both. Make sure cables are secure by
placing clips or ties approximately every 3 –
5' (1 – 1.6 m).
Note: 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.

wooden surface, secure the
sensor to the surface using the
