Connecting mast cable to the gateway

The bare-ended wires on the supplied mast cable should be connected to the gateway after the mast cable has been routed to the gateway. The wire connections on the gateway are color-coded to match the mast cable wire colors.

Important

The wind transducer must be connected to the network using the supplied gateway and CANNOT be connected to an iTC-5 or an i60 instrument.

Mast cable
  1. Using a screwdriver, press and hold the clamp release button down past the button flush point for the relevant connection terminal.
  2. Feed the matching colored cable into the terminal’s open connection clamp. For further reference, refer to the connection example above.

    Ensure that the stripped wire is pushed into the terminal as far as it can go. There should be minimal or no exposed wire showing.

  3. Release the clamp release button.
  4. Check that the wire has been correctly clamped into the terminal.
  5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for all wires.
  6. Open the cable gland and insert the mast cable sheath so that the mast cable sheath protrudes slightly from the gland.
  7. Close the cable gland, ensuring that it clamps the mast cable sheath and not the individual wires.
  8. Position the gateway cover’s cable cutout groove above the mast cable, and then push the cover down and forward. Before engaging the gateway cover clips, ensure that the mast cable is positioned at the top of the cover’s cutout groove.
  9. Secure the gateway cover by tightening the captive retaining screw until it is secure.
Important

To prevent water ingress, the gateway’s cover MUST be fitted in all installations.
