BlackGlobe Temperature Sensor for Heat Stress
4. Tighten down the nut closest to the mounting arm so the bolt is held firmly
in place.
5. Thread the BlackGlobe fitting onto the bolt. Thread it as far down as it
will go, but you may have to back it off a bit. The cable gland and cable
should align with the mounting arm as shown in FIGURE 6-3.
6. Tighten down the nut closest to the BlackGlobe fitting. The BlackGlobe
and mounting bolt should not move when the all the hardware is tightened
down.

6.2.2 Mounting the BlackGlobe Assembly on a Horizontal Crossarm
The BlackGlobe assembly must be mounted on a horizontal crossarm.
1. Position the sensor so that the cable gland is facing down (FIGURE 6-3).
2. Use the mounting hardware supplied to hold the sensor on the horizontal
crossarm. FIGURE 6-4 and FIGURE 6-5 show a BlackGlobe mounted on
a crossarm by using the U-bolts.
3. Use the wire ties provided with the unit to secure the cabling to the
crossarm.
4. Leave a small loop of cable at the cable entry into the sensor to act as a
drip line for any condensed moisture or rain (FIGURE 6-4).
