Anemometer Cable shortening on new Vantage Pro 2
(1/1)
jpmorgan49:
I finally received my Vantage Pro2 and really like it. I have the ISS mounted on a pole 6' above grass and the readings look good. Of course there's no rain in the forecast, as much as I wish for it. I did have my anemometer on the same pole in my backyard but it received no wind. I ordered a Transmitter and I'm putting it on a unused TV pole on top of mu two story house. It's still not above the trees but it's a much better location. Since I'm mounting the anemometer and transmitter on the same pole is it advised to cut the wire to make it shorter? Will I gain anything? Has anyone done this? Thanks.

Shortening the cable doesn't hurt anything but from a warranty standpoint I would leave it as is.
ocala:
I agree with Talbert, don't cut it. Just roll it up and attach it to your tower.
ncpilot:
Because... one day you might find that you need that extra length for a different install...

Thanks everyone, I'll leave it coiled and attach it to the pole.
