NOTES:

• WeatherBug recommends that you tape the connector ends together before

running them inside the building (tape them fully to prevent damage or loosening

individual wires). Do not cut connectors off. A single loose cable connection

can cause system errors.

• Route Data Cable through 1¾ inch outside diameter conduit on exterior of

building.

• Seal building hole and both ends of conduit using caulk/putty.

• Because the WeatherBug Weather Station Data Cable is UV-rated, conduit is not

required along the length of the mast, but should be used along the length of the

building.

• Use the shortest route possible when running cables inside the building.

• The Data Cable ends at the BBB. Excess cable should be coiled, tied and stored

near the BBB.

12. Securely attach a grounding cable to a metal part of the mast. The mast MUST be

grounded to protect against lightning and static charge build-up. The ground wire

must be connected to an appropriate location (consult a school or district electrician

to ensure proper grounding).

IMPORTANT: Ground cable and installation must conform to all applicable local

building codes. The mast must be grounded to an "earth" ground.

The buyer/installer is responsible for this procedure and for ensuring that materials and

methods conform to all applicable building codes.
