NexSens Technology X2-CB, User Manual

Page: 5 / 115

Basic Requirements
Supply Voltage: 5-24VDC [+/-15%]
Operating Current Max: 300mA
Peak Current: 500mA for 1 second (@ 12V)
All standard CB-Series buoys meet and exceed the X2-CB required specifications.
Connector Wiring
Solar power is supplied to the CB-Series battery pack via the UW-6 Receptacle (marked ‘COM/SOLAR‘) port,
which also acts as a power switch between the battery and data logger. This allows quick power disconnection
when the logger is not in use, as removing the solar plug from the port also removes power from the logger. The
below table and diagram show the proper connections for the X2-CB’s UW-6R port.
