We noticed a lot of water intrusion when using swivels for the upper instruments (anemometer, wind vane, and light sensor). This inevitably led to corrosion to the connectors. So we’ve decided to create 3 solutions.
- Remove the swivel and just place a 3/4" cpvc to pvc piece at the elbow
- Add a loom to shorten the sensor cable, thus raising the connector
- created rain covers for the swivel if we still needed to use them.
