8. Using the bubble level on the sensor as a guide, adjust the sensor until it is level by

tightening or loosening the levelling screws as necessary.

9. Secure the sensor cable to the mounting surface. You may use the provided 3/16" cable

clamp, #8-32 x 3/4" screw, #8 hex nut, and #8 flat washer if possible.

Routing Sensor Cable

To prevent fraying or cutting of the
cable where it is exposed to
weather, secure it so it doesn’t
whip about in the wind. Use cable
clips or weather resistant cable ties
to secure the cable. Place clips or
ties approximately every 3 to 5 feet
(1 to 1.6 m). Do NOT use metal sta-
ples or a staple gun to secure
cables. Metal staples—especially
when installed with a staple gun—
have a tendency to cut the cables.

Note:

Try not to tug on the cable in such a way as to loosen the connections between cables. Also,
make sure the sensor cable is not so taut that connections loosen or pull free due to the
strain. Many sensor problems occur because cable connections come loose.
