Both the PS150 and the CH150 come with a 1 foot black wire attached to one

of the

G terminal blocks and a 1 foot red wire attached to one of the 12V

terminal blocks. Attach the red wire from the power supply to the datalogger

Power terminal block marked 12V (Campbell Scientific part number 3768).

Attach the black wire from the power supply to the datalogger Power terminal

block marked “G”.

3.4 Turn On the Charging Source

Turn on the power going to the charging source or uncover the solar panel.

The green “Charge” LED will flash approximately once a second if all

incoming connections are correct and there is an adequate charging voltage

present.

3.5 Turn On Power to the Datalogger

Flip the switch on the PS150/CH150 supply to “On”. Verify voltage to the

datalogger with a volt meter, or use a key pad display, or connect to the

datalogger with a laptop or PDA to make sure the datalogger is running

correctly.
