Here is a pic of the sensor wired. Make sure you use hot glue on the wires to keep from pulling the traces off the sensor. The wire I used were for test purposes only. I used a piece of cable that was 35 feet long to test the unit.
Power up was fine. No fluctuation in the meter. Everything appeared to be stable. By turning the sensor I was able to see the LCD change with no problems
Next to mount sensor in a water tight box. Fab a bracket on it them mount to mast cross boom. I will add a 8 pin chassis connector to the bottom side of the box. Also you may need to add some .01 caps to ground from each pin to keep the rf out.
More to come.
