Elevated Mount Sensor Mounting
On the Elevated Mount model of the Agriculture Sensor, there is a mounting bracket on the
bottom of the unit. See Figure 4. These mounting holes can be used to screw the enclosure to a
solid surface. The recommended mounting screw size is M3 or #6. Mounting screws are not
provided with the sensor.

Cable Installation
The Elevated Mount Sensor enclosure is provided with a waterproof cable gland through which all
connections must be routed. The supplied cable gland size is PG-7. This gland supports cables with a
jacket outside diameter of 3.0 mm to 4.3 mm (0.118" to 0.169").
The I/O terminal blocks accept 30-16 AWG wire. Select a cable that meets the application
requirements and local and national electrical codes.
Figure 3 shows the terminal block wiring connections. To install the cable, first make the
appropriate connections between the input cable and the terminal block. Next dress the
internal wires so that the cable gland seals against the outer cable jacket. Finally, tighten the
cable gland.
