If you want to use the internal battery with a different power sup-
ply (charger) than the ones provided by Adcon (120 or 300mA
solar panels or the ACS110 charger), make sure to use the wiring
as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8. A725 Connection with External Power Supply
And if you want to use an external battery, charged by its own
solar panel, you need to disconnect the internal the internal bat-
tery and the Adcon solar panel and use the wiring as shown in
Figure 9.

The SDI Connector
The SDI connector is used to connect the addSWITCH A725 to an
SDI-12 Sensor bus (See Figure 10). The connector used is a female
5 pin SWITCHCRAFT jack (EN3P5F, the counterpart is the
EN3C5M).
The A725 comes with a 1m cable with flying ends. A standard
cable clamp can be used to connect the sensors. It is up to the
user to protect this cable clamp for outdoor usage. Please contact
your local Adcon dealer for special SDI-12 wiring boxes.
