AM25T Solid-State Thermocouple Multiplexer 

Operating Humidity 

 

Noncondensing:

 

0 to 95% 

Dimensions 

 

Length:

 

23.6 cm (9.3 in) 

 

Width:

 

5.10 cm (2.0 in) 

 

Depth:

 

13.2 cm (5.2 in) 

Weight:

 

0.91 kg (2.0 lb) 

 

 

3.6 kg (8.0 lb); shipping 

Expandability (Nominal)*:

 

1 AM25T per CR300 or CR310 (requires OS 

version 6 or later) 

 

 

2 AM25Ts per CR800 or CR850 

 

 

3 AM25Ts per CR6 

 

 

4 AM25Ts per CR1000, CR1000X, CR3000 

 

 

7 AM25Ts per CR5000 

 

 

CR9000X variable, depending on how many 

CR9051E modules are installed 

Maximum Data Cable Length:

  Multiplexers can be located up to 305 m 

(1000 ft) from the data logger. When 

lightning protection is required, do not 

exceed 152 m (500 ft) in data cable length. 

The spark gaps will not fire if the heavy 

ground wire is longer than 152 m (500 ft). 

Typical relay Resistance:

 

500 

 

Maximum Switching Current:

  25 mA; switching currents greater than  

25 mA damages the relays and renders them 

unusable. 

Compliance:

*Assumes sequential activation of multiplexers and that each data logger channel is 

uniquely dedicated. If your application requires additional multiplexing capability, 

please consult Campbell Scientific for application assistance. 

7.  Installation 

7.1  Installing the AM25T 

The AM25T may be operated in a non-condensing environment, such as a 

laboratory, without being housed in an enclosure. For field use, the AM25T 

must be protected against dust and liquid. Campbell Scientific offers weather-

resistant enclosures for this purpose. 

Fasten the AM25T to the enclosure backplate. Securely fasten the wires to the 

strain relief flange running between the AM25T terminal strips and install the 

cover to reduce temperature gradients during thermocouple measurements.
