Protectors with any of our cabled
weather stations. For installation
on cable runs between:
Sensor and junction box or
sensor interface module.
Console and junction box or sensor interface module.
Use one surge protector for every two wires. See the
chart below to determine the number of surge protec-
tors needed for your installation. Stripping of wires is
required. For additional protection options, see our
Protected Junction Box (page 11) and Link Isolator
Kit (page 13).
