Mast cable routing

When routing the cable inside the mast, the mast cable exit can be located under the mounting plate (the mounting plates includes a cable recess for this purpose) or on the side of the mast.

To keep the size of any holes that need to be drilled for cable routing to a minimum, route the mast cable from the transducer location using the bare wire end first.

• Ensure sufficient slack at the transducer end so that the wind transducer can be disconnected if necessary.

• When drilling routing holes, ensure they are large enough to accommodate the mast cable (which has an approximately diameter of 5 mm (0.20 in)).

• When drilling routing holes, ensure there are no rough edges or burrs before routing any cables.

• The cable should be secured at regular intervals using cable clips, so that the cable is NOT hanging and the cable’s weight is supported.

• The cable should be secured inside of a conduit, so that the cable is protected damage.

• Excess cable can be cut once the cable has been routed to the gateway.
