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 protection to your sensor application. Please refer to the Click! quick-
start guides for more comprehensive 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 conducted 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).
