3.1.2 Sensor and power cables routed through conduit
1.
Place the XCi device on a work bench. Using a power drill and 2” holesaw,
carefully drill out the round plastic cable entry point at the base of the
unit as shown below. It is only thin plastic and is designed to break away.
Alternatively, the round cable entry point may be removed using the
“hammer and screwdriver” method described in
Chapter 3.1.
2.
Use the two “U” bolts,
3
/
8
” nuts and
3
/
8
” washers provided to secure the XCi
device to the pole.
Do not overtighten the pole mounting bolts as permanent damage may
occur to the electronics enclosure

Carefully attach an electrical conduit adaptor
(Clipsal 50mm or Carlon 1

to the XCi device.
4.
Plug in both the sensor cable and solar panel cable into the sockets as
shown in the picture below.
The Doppler sensor cable should be looped prior to connecting to act as
a form of strain relief. Ensure that the sensor cable is securely attached
by tightening the thumb screws.
Ensure that the cable from the solar panel/charger is terminated using
the three-pin connector provided in the electronics box and that the
polarity is correct. The polarity is labelled on the circuit board near the
connector.
5.
If using a 16-30VDC mains charger then plug this into the socket shown
in the picture below. Alternatively, the charger may be wired into the solar
panel screw terminal block
(to the left of the socket).
6.
Once all your cables are plugged in you need to fully test the system.
When you are happy that everything is connected and working properly you
need to fill the cable entry point with expanding “space filler” foam. Fill down
the first 5 to 10cm
(2” to 4”)
of the conduit. This is to prevent insects and/or
moisture damaging the system.
3.2 Installing on a wall
1.
Follow instructions on the previous page to drill out the cable entry point
for routing cables through conduit.

2.
Use four M8 screws, bolts or coach
screws to secure the box to the wall.
(Use flat washers between the screw
head and the box).
Do not overtighten the wall
mounting bolts as permanent
damage may occur to the
electronics enclosure
3.
Follow instructions 3-6 on the
previous page for routing the cables
through conduit.
