APPENDIX F
– MEMS SENSOR TO MULTIPLEXER WIRING
Up to sixteen (16) Uniaxial MEMS sensors are connected to the Canary 6 wire
Multiplexer through the weather tight strain relief fittings mounted to the Datalogger
enclosure; with the final connection made to the terminal blocks mounted on the
Multiplexer. Each terminal block, or Multiplexer channel, consists of seven (7) clamp
connections. A sample Uniaxial MEMS connection is as follows for terminal block #1
