CONNECTING TO A LOGGER

Connecting to a Logger
The MPS-2 and MPS-6 sensors operate with Decagon’s Em50, Em50R,
and Em50G data loggers or the ProCheck handheld reader. The stan-
dard sensor (with 3.5 mm stereo connector) quickly connects to and
is easily configured within a Decagon logger or selected in ProCheck.
The MPS-2 and MPS-6 sensors incorporate several features that also
make them excellent for use with third party loggers. Customers have
the option to purchase the sensor with stripped and tinned wires (pig-
tail) for terminal connections.
Extending Sensor Cables
The MPS-2 and MPS-6 sensors come standard with a five meter
cable. Customers may purchase custom cable lengths for an addi-
tional per-meter fee. This option eliminates the need for splicing
the cable. If you do need to extend the cable, please be sure to ad-
equately waterproof the cable splices as inadequately waterproofed
cable splices are a major failure point. Visit our website for detailed
suggestions on waterproofing cable splices.

Connecting to Em50/Em50R/Em50G logger
The MPS-2 and MPS-6 work best with the Em50 data logger se-
ries. Simply plug the 3.5 mm “stereo plug” connector directly into
one of the five sensor ports. Next, configure your logger port for
the MPS-2 or MPS-6 and set the measurement interval, this may
be done using either ECH2O Utility or DataTrac 3 (see respective
manuals). Please check your software and firmware versions to en-
sure they support the MPS-2 and MPS-6 sensors.
