Routing Cable

Use plastic tie wraps secure the cable to mast. Be sure that one is used at the mast base. Tighten the tie wraps securely and clip off any excess length with a wire cutter tool.

Route the cable back to the weatherproof enclosure. If mounting on a roof, route the sensors through a vent or other opening into an attic or crawl space.

Avoid routing the cable near metal windows, metal door frames, metal gutters, or on a metal tower.

Any mast or tower should always be properly earth grounded to minimize electrical storm damage. The use of a properly grounded metal mast or tower, however, does not insure protection from electrostatic discharge. These items could become electrically charged resulting in damage to the sensors and/or console. This could damage the system in the event of an electrical storm. Use insulated standoffs (user supplied, see Section 4) when routing cable to help avoid this problem.

CAUTION: There may be electric wires in the wall. We recommend that you shut off the electricity in the room(s) where you are drilling.

For best results when routing the cable through the exterior wall adjacent to the console:

a. drill a 3/8" hole though the wall (1/2" if combined with the temperature sensor cable);

b. insert a pair of small plastic wall bushings (available as an option; see Section 4) on either side of the wall (or, insert a wall feed-through tube, also optionally available); and

c. thread the cable through the bushings or tube.

Make sure that the exposed portion of the sensor cable that is beyond the mast will not be blown about by the wind. Use insulated eye bolt standoffs or other fasteners if necessary. (See Section 4 for information on mounting options)

Note: If the standard 50 ft. cable provided with the sensor transmitter is not long enough, it may be extended by splicing on an appropriate length of 22-gauge, stranded, five conductor shielded cable with the same color code. When cutting and splicing, insure good contacts, proper color coding of the terminal leads, and a good seal. (A good solder splice, and water proof insulation are essential; merely twisting the respective wires together is not adequate.) Additional cable (Catalog No. 81545) and a water tight splice kit (Cat. No. 81580) are available from the factory.

Once the sensor transmitter has been placed, route the cable back to the weatherproof enclosure. Extra cable may be coiled up out of site.

Connecting the Sensor Transmitter to the Orion Weatherproof Enclosure

Using a #1 Straight Slot screwdriver, attach the wires from the end of the sensor cable to the terminal block screws as shown below:
