2.12 Outdoor Wiring

When wiring sensors outdoors, DO NOT allow exposed wires
to run freely in open air; under such conditions, the Model
1108 is susceptible to serious damage during a lightning storm.
Depending upon the distance outdoor wiring must travel,
consideration should be given to use of shielded wire inside a
metal conduit. Both shield and conduit should be connected to
earth ground. This prevents stray voltage from entering the
unit.
