Installation Instructions
1. Slide the hose clamps through the slots in
the back of the telemetry unit.
2. Securely install the telemetry device to the
light pole located on your pivot using the hose clamps or zip ties from the
previous step.
3. Attach the ET sensor to the light pole
using the provided U-bolt bracket.
· Do
not fully tighten the bracket yet — leave it slightly loose so you can adjust
the position and allow slack in the sensor cables for easy connection to the
telemetry device in the next step
· Once
the sensor is wired to the telemetry device, slide the bracket up to its final
position and fully tighten it to securely mount the sensor.
· Neatly
secure any excess cable to the pole to prevent movement from wind and ensure a
stable connection to the telemetry device.
4. Connect the thermocouple connector to the
slot provided. (See the wiring scheme below)
5. Attach the Rain gauge to the lightning
pole using the hose clamps and the cable to the “Pulse” input of the telemetry
unit
