Sealing
The PrimeLog connectors are waterproof only when used with a mating
connector, or when the captive sealing cap is connected.
For continued full environmental protection, the sealing caps must be secured
when the connector is not in use.
Sensors supplied by ADS come with sealed mating connectors. Attach
connectors using a bayonet (twist-and-click) action of the rotating shell.
Connectors will not seal correctly if foreign matter is present between the
mating surfaces. Logger sensors operate at low levels of current; therefore,
any moisture present facilitates electrical leakage, resulting in a degradation or
destruction of data. Clean contaminated connectors by scrubbing them with a
brush using pure ethyl (denatured) alcohol.
When making connections, it is good practice to also verify that the sealing
caps are seated properly. This prevents dirt and moisture from accumulating
in the cap and transferring to the connector.
