4.5.2.1 Power connections
The following is a guide for wiring and installing a permanent power supply.
The power source needs to provide the correct voltage and current in excess of the power
requirement of the system.
Voltage and current requirements: 10 to 40 VDC input 9 A at 12 VDC, 4.5 A at 24 VDC
DSP and internal heaters input: 3.8A @ 12 VDC, 1.9A at 24 VDC
Hood heater input: 5 A at 12 VDC, 2.5 A at 24 VDC
Total power requirements: 102 W maximum
4.5.2.2 Communications connections
The communications cable terminates at one end with a removable 9-pin, D-connector (DB9).
The D-connector connects directly to a computer or data logger such as the Campbell Scientific
CR1000X using a suitable interconnecting cable such as the SC110.
(p. 21). The
connector can easily be removed for direct connection to screw terminals.
See

for CRBasic programs that
connect the SkyVUE 8M to a Campbell Scientific data logger.
CAUTION:
The supplied cable is not recommended for lengths greater than 5 m (16 ft). Contact
Campbell Scientific if needing longer cable lengths.
