Once the sensor is installed, it will need to be wired for power and surge protection. This
chapter will explain how to connect lightning surge protection, AC power conversion, DC
power and basic communication.
Wavetronix Click products allow you to quickly and easily connect power and surge protec-
tion to your sensor application. Please refer to the Click quick-start guides for more com-
prehensive product instructions. Chapter 9 contains information on how Click products
make the sensor compatible with all standard control cabinets.
A pinout diagram showing the sensor cable’s pinout and appropriate connection points can
be found in Appendix A of this document.
Connecting Lightning Surge Protection
It is strongly recommended that the sensor be connected to a surge protection device. The
Wavetronix Click 200 and equivalent devices are designed to prevent electrical surges con-
ducted along underground cables from damaging the sensor and/or the cabinet. The service
end of the sensor cable should be connected to the PROTECTED side of the Click 200
in a cabinet mounted on the sensor pole. This will help protect the sensor when lightning
strikes the ground in the vicinity of the cabinet (see Figure 2.1).
