4.10.2.1 Power and Cable Recommendations for Fully Heated WMT700
The following table shows cable and power recommendations. If you need a longer than a 10
meter cable, Vaisala recommends using Junction Box with Cable (WMT70CABLE12) for
extending the cable length.
The minimum operation voltage for a fully heated WMT700 (transducers, arms, and body
heated) is 16 V, if a separate power supply unit is used for operation.
