Connect Cable to Controller
Route the sensor cable into the nacelle and to its connection point. It may be helpful to label the end of each wire
before pulling the cable to its connection point. Following the color code, connect the sensor wires and shield wire to
the turbine controller and heater power supply.

Ground (-) and Orange/Black to 24V DC (+). When using AC power, the wiring order does not
matter.
Mount Sensor
To attach the sensor to the mounting mast, slide the clamp bolt and washer away from the mounting mast until the nut
is against the mounting mast and is hanging vertically. Rotate the Hybrid XT sensor body so that the “THIS SIDE TOWARD
ROTOR” label is facing the turbine rotor. This aligns the internal key with the alignment slot in the connector. Now, slide
the sensor down over the boom carefully making sure that the key drops into the slot. Continue to slide the senor down
until it is firmly seated on the nut. There will be some drag as the o-ring seal and the connector pins engage. Tighten the
bolt using a 10 mm wrench to 7 N-m (5 ft-lbs). Replacement washers, nuts and bolts can be ordered from NRG Systems
(part #4422).
