Step 7 - Wiring
Remove the wiring terminal block by pulling up from the blue sensor disk. Connect
the 4 conductor wire to the yellow (YEL), blue (BLU), red (RED) and black (BLK)
wiring terminations. If the installed 4 conductor cable uses a different color code,
then make a note of the wire color versus the wiring terminal color names. Push
the wiring terminal plug onto the pins of the blue sensor disk. At the Snow Melting
Control location, connect the corresponding wires to the yellow, blue, red and
black wire terminations.

Step 6 - Mounting
The conduit pole can be either PVC plastic or rigid metal. The conduit pole should
be mounted plumb using a level.
When using PVC plastic conduit a nominal 1/2” (16mm) PVC male terminal
adapter with locknut is recommended.
When using rigid metal, a nominal 1/2” (16mm) rigid metal conduit adapter with
set screw is recommended.
1. Pull the 4 conductor wire through the conduit.
2. Install the sensor body with conduit adapter to the conduit. For PVC conduit
use PVC cement adhesive. For rigid metal conduit, tighten the set screw until
the conduit adapter is firmly attached to the conduit.
3. Fish the 4 conductor wire though the sensor body and place on top of the
conduit adapter. Point the sensor body towards the prevailing wind direction, if
any. Thread the locknut onto the conduit adapter and screw until tight.
