ENSURING THAT DOME CONNECTORS ARE WATER-TIGHT

The dome connectors that you installed in Section 3.3 Placing Dome
Connectors and Plugs in the Enclosure on page 14 must
be tightened
securely after sensor cable or electrical cables are routed through them.
These dome connectors are not meant to be weight-bearing! For best
results, ensure that:

• The cable does not slide or wiggle after the connectors are tightened.
• Sufficient cable has been threaded through the connector so that secure

wiring connections can be made.

• There is no weight or force from the water pulling on the cable.

ENSURING GOOD ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

To ensure that all sensors and power sources function properly:

• Make sure that each individual wire is stripped and tinned to ¼ in.
• Make sure that each wire is tightly screwed into the terminal strip.
• Make sure that each wire is touching the terminal strip. If the plastic wire

jacket is clamped into the terminal strip, connections will not be made.

• Clip or cap any unused wires.
• Make sure that ribbon cables and the coin cell battery are secure.
