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, only twist the metal connector.

Inline cable connectors are installed 25 cm from the

A reference notch inside the connector ensures

proper alignment before tightening.

When sending sensors in for calibration, only send the

sensor head.
