CHAPTER 1 • INSTALLING THE SMARTSENSOR HD 17
Connecting the Cable
The sensor connector is keyed to ensure proper connection; once you have plugged the
cable connector into the sensor connector, simply twist the cable connector clockwise until
you hear it click into place. To avoid undue movement from the wind, strap the cable to the
pole or run it through a conduit, but leave a small amount of slack at the top of the cable to
reduce cable strain (see Figure 1.7).
Note
If you run the cable through the pole, do not drill through the sensor mount, as the
sensor and sensor mount may need to be adjusted in the future.
Figure 1.7 – Sensor Connector
The service end of the cable has a +DC and GND for a power supply of 12 to 24 VDC. Two
communication ports (either RS-232 or RS-485) are available to connect the SmartSensor
HD to a modem or other communication device. Typically, one RS-485 and one RS-232
port are available.
