8.2 Sensor Connection
1. After the sensors have been mounted, route the sensor leads through the
entry hole in the bottom of the enclosure and to the datalogger. Secure the
leads to the left side of the enclosure using cable ties and tabs (FIGURE
8-7). Any excess cable should be neatly coiled and secured to the tabs.
2. To connect a lead wire, loosen the appropriate screw terminal and insert
the lead wire (wires should be stripped 5/16 inches), and tighten the screw
using the screwdriver provided with the datalogger.
If a datalogger program has been developed, the sensors will have to be
wired to the channels specified by the measurement instructions.
If a program has not been developed, Short Cut can be used to generate a
program and wiring diagram. Run Short Cut, and wire the sensor leads as
specified by the wiring diagram in the .DEF file.
For more complex programming, or when sensors are used which are not
supported by Short Cut or CRBasic (PC400 or LoggerNet software) must
be used. If desired, wire the sensors and develop the program using
CRBasic and the measurement instructions as shown in Section 10,
Standard Software Installation.
