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. Use insulated standoffs (user supplied, see
Section 4) when routing cable to help avoid electrical storm damage.
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.)
Once the Wind Sensor has been placed, route the cable back to the
Control Module.
Using a #1 Straight Slot screwdriver, attach the wires from the end of the
Wind Sensor cable to the Wind Sensor terminal block screws at the back
of the Control Module as follows:
Black - Terminal #5
Red Wire - Terminal #6
White Wire - Terminal #25
Green Wire - Terminal #26
Brown Wire - Terminal #27
Connect the ground lug to the chassis ground terminal on the back panel
of the Control Module.
