4. Connecting Sensors
The VP-3 sensor was designed to work most efficiently with
Decagon’s Em50, Em50R, Em50G dataloggers, or the ProCheck
handheld reader. The standard sensor (with 3.5 mm stereo
connector) quickly connects to and is easily configured within a
Decagon logger or ProCheck.
The VP-3 sensor incorporates several features that also make it
an excellent sensor for use with third party loggers. The sensor
may be purchased with stripped and tinned wires (pigtail) for
terminal connections. Visit our website at www.decagon.com/
support/literature to get extensive directions on how to integrate
the VP-3 sensor into third party loggers.
The VP-3 sensor comes standard with a 5 meter cable. Sensors
may be purchased with custom cable lengths for an additional fee
(on a per-foot fee basis). Decagon has tested its digital sensor
successfully up to 1000 meters (3200 ft). This option eliminates
the need for splicing the cable (a possible failure point).
Connecting to an Em50 Series Logger
The VP-3 has been designed to work specifically with the Em50
data logger. Simply plug the 3.5mm “stereo plug” connector
directly into one of the five sensor ports.
