Apogee started offering in-line cable connectors on
some bare-lead sensors in March 2018 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 you ever need a replacement cable, please contact
us directly to ensure ordering the proper pigtail
configuration.
Alignment: When reconnecting your 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.
Inline cable connectors are installed 30 cm from the
(pyranometer pictured)
A reference notch inside the connector ensures
proper alignment before tightening.
When sending sensors in for calibration, only send the
short end of the cable and half the connector.
