Maximum Cable
Length:
Depends on sensor and scan rate. In general, longer
lead lengths necessitate longer measurement delays.
Refer to datalogger manual for details.

7
operations
Relay Switching
Thermal emf: 0.3 uV typical; 0.5 uV maximum
Characteristics
(applying 11.3 – 14
VDC):
Operate time: <10 ms over temperature and supply
ranges
Break before make guaranteed by design
* Reset, Clock, and +12V inputs are protected by +16V transzorbs.
** Assumes sequential activation of multiplexers and that each datalogger channel is uniquely
dedicated. If your application requires additional multiplexing capability, please consult CSI for
application assistance.
*** Switching currents greater than 30 mA (occasional 50 mA current is acceptable) will degrade
the contact surfaces of the mechanical relays (increase their resistance). This will adversely affect
the suitability of these relays to multiplex low voltage signals. Although a relay used in this
manner no longer qualifies for low voltage measurement, it continues to be useful for switching
currents in excess of 30 mA.
