CABLE CONNECTORS
The ruggedized M8 connectors are rated IP68, made
of corrosion-resistant marine-grade stainless-steel,
and designed for extended use in harsh
environmental conditions.
The µCache has an M8 connector that is used to
connect to an analog sensor.
Instructions
Pins and Wiring Colors: All Apogee connectors have
six pins, but not all pins are used for every sensor.
There may also be unused wire colors inside the
cable. To simplify datalogger connection, we remove
the unused pigtail lead colors at the datalogger end
of the cable.
If a replacement cable is required, please contact
Apogee directly to ensure ordering the proper pigtail
configuration.
Alignment: When reconnecting the sensor, arrows
on the connector jacket and an aligning notch ensure
proper orientation.
Disconnection for extended periods: When
disconnecting the sensor for an extended period of
time from a µCache, protect the remaining half of
the connector still on the µCache from water and dirt
with electrical tape or other method.
A reference notch inside the connector ensures
proper alignment before tightening.
When sending sensors in for calibration, only send the
short end of the cable and half the connector.
