11.1 Connecting the wind transducer
Follow the steps below to connect the wind transducer’s cable to the
connector on the supplied mast cable.
1. Remove the protective cap by pulling it away from the connector.
2. Twist the cable connector’s locking collar into the unlocked position and
hold.
3. Align the arrows on both connectors and insert the mast cable connector
fully into the wind transducer connector.
4. Twist the cable connector’s locking collar into the locked position.
The dust cap should remain on the cable so that it can be used to protect the
cable connector in the future if the wind transducer has to be removed.
11.2 Cutting the cable
Once the cable has been fully routed, if desired, any excess cable can be cut
off and the wires prepared for connection to the gateway.
1. Cut the existing cable.
Ensure sufficient length remains to easily make the connections and
remove again if necessary.
2. Remove 25 mm (0.98 in) of the cable insulation/sheath.
3. Remove 10 mm (0.40 in) of insulation from each wire.
4. Cut the supplied heat shrink tube to an appropriate size (e.g.: 15 mm
(0.60 in)), and push all the way along the ground wire (the wire which
has no insulation).
5. Re-tin each wire.
11.3 Connecting mast cable to the gateway
The bare ended wires on the supplied mast cable should be connected
to the gateway after the cable has been routed to the gateway.
The wire
connections on the gateway are color-coded to match the mast cable
wire colors.
Important:
The wind transducer must be connected to the network using the supplied
gateway and CANNOT be connected to an iTC-5 or an i60 instrument.
