Cables
The following cables are available:
Power cable
This cable is used to feed the DATA-CUBE³ with external power (5-24V DC). The input is protected
against reverse poling. Connector and pin-out are different between DATA-CUBE³ Type 1 and 2. The
D-cell batteries must be removed when powering DATA-CUBE³ Type 1 by external power!
USB up-/download cable (light grey)
This cable is used to upload a new configuration file to the DATA-CUBE³ or to download recorded data
from the internal storage. When connecting the DATA-CUBE³ via this cable to a computer it will appear
as an external drive. It is not necessary (yet possible) to additionally power the DATA-CUBE³ when
connecting this cable. The DATA-CUBE³ will receive power from the computer via USB to enable ac-
cess to the internal storage.
Please note: Recording of the DATA-CUBE³ stops automatically when connecting this cable! For data
post-processing it is important to have a GPS fix at the end of the recording. The user must make sure
that a GPS fix is acquired before downloading the data. The recording will continue automatically when
the cable is disconnected again. It is recommended to disconnect the DATA-CUBE³ from the power
supply before downloading the measurement data and reconnect afterwards.
Monitor cable (black)
This cable is used to check the proper operation of the DATA-CUBE³ and to observe the noise level of
an installation / deployment site. The necessary software CubeMonitor is delivered with the DATA-
CUBE³ and runs on Windows only.
Sensor cable
A sensor cable is either delivered by the sensor manufacturer or can be ordered in various lengths from
DiGOS for most common sensors. We can also offer posthole cables on customer request.
Please contact us if you require special cable modifications.
