Installing Weatherproof Cable
Channel(s)
All cables and wires should be routed through the cable access opening at
this point. If you are using the Smart Sensor expander board, make sure
those cables are routed through the secondary cable access opening.
1.
Grease the Cable Channel
Apply a small amount of silicone grease (about the size of a pea) onto
your fingertip and then work a light coating into the top, bottom, and
two ends (the sides with no holes) of the rubber cable channel. Also put
a light coating on the inside of the two halves of the cable channel.

2.
Place Cables in Channel
Hold the channel just below the HOBO U30 Station case (with the
channel’s hinged side on the left and the taper facing in).
Open the channel and lay the cables and wires into the grooves.
NOTE:
The solar panel or AC adapter cable must be in the leftmost
(larger diameter) groove.
NOTE:
Use the small rubber plugs to fill any unused grooves.
Center the thick part of the plugs in the groove. Plug ‘tails’ can face
in or out. It may be easier to install these after the rubber cable
channel has been pushed into the case. Insert the thin part of the
plug into the hole and pull to center the thick part of the plug in the
channel.
