Installation
Trial wiring
You should do a trial wiring before running the wires through the walls. Perform the trial wiring in
the comfort of your home, garage, etc. This will ensure your confidence in the instruments’ opera-
tion. If you are extending the length of any of the wires, you should do that before proceeding.
First we will wire the 8 conductor shielded cable for the wind sensors. Connect the wind sensors to
the end of the cable that has ring lugs using the brass hex nuts supplied. The 3 and 5 terminal con-
nectors attach to the stripped and tinned end of the cable following the pattern shown in the diagram.
The chart below shows the wire color to sensor terminal number assignments. If you are using cable
with different wire colors you should write in the colors here and on the label on the back of the
instrument.
Sensor Wires
Now that you have selected the locations for the components you should measure how much wire
you will need for the sensors. The 100 foot cables supplied are usually adequate for most installa-
tions. However, you can use up to 500 feet of wire with the sensors.
If you need to, you can extend the supplied wire by splicing on extra cable or, you can buy a longer
spool of wire. The wind sensors use 24 AWG 8-conductor shielded cable and the temperature sensor
uses 24 AWG 2-conductor shielded cable.
If you splice on additional wire, you should solder the splices and, insulate them well for long term
reliability. You should make the splices and prepare the end of the wires like the 100’ wire that is
supplied before proceeding.
If you are using wire not supplied by Maximum, you should prepare the ends of the wires like the
100’ wire that is supplied before proceeding.
