CABLE CONNECTORS
Apogee sensors offer cable connectors to simplify
the process of removing sensors from weather
stations for calibration (the entire cable does not
have to be removed from the station and shipped
with the sensor).
The ruggedized M8 connectors are rated IP68, made
of corrosion-resistant marine-grade stainless-steel,
and designed for extended use in harsh
environmental conditions.
Instructions
Pins and Wiring Colors: All Apogee
connectors have six pins, but not all pins are
used for every sensor. There may also be
unused wire colors inside the cable. To
simplify datalogger connection, we remove
the unused pigtail lead colors at the
datalogger end of the cable.
If a replacement cable is required, please
contact Apogee directly to ensure ordering
the proper pigtail configuration.
Alignment: When reconnecting a sensor,
arrows on the connector jacket and an
aligning notch ensure proper orientation.
Disconnection for extended periods: When
disconnecting the sensor for an extended
period of time from a station, protect the
remaining half of the connector still on the
station from water and dirt with electrical
tape or other method.
Tightening: Connectors are designed to be
firmly finger-tightened only. There is an o-
ring inside the connector that can be overly
compressed if a wrench is used. Pay
attention to thread alignment to avoid
cross-threading. When fully tightened, 1-2
threads may still be visible.
WARNING: Do not tighten the connector by
twisting the black cable or sensor head, only
twist the metal connector (blue arrows).
Cable connectors are attached directly to the head.
A reference notch inside the connector ensures
proper alignment before tightening.
When sending sensors in for calibration, only send the sensor head.
