4.3.2 Micro SVP Logging Option
If the Micro SVP has been purchased with the logging option it will be equipped with
internal memory and an external battery pack. Refer to the wiring diagram in
Appendix C
.
If the battery pack is used, the instrument is connected to either connector on the battery
pack with an interconnect cable. The remaining connector on the battery pack is then
connected to the data/power cable, which is connected to the computer. For logging data
when not connected to the computer the red shorting plug must be inserted into the battery
pack to turn the power on to the instrument. Power for the Micro SVP sensor is turned off
if the there is no shorting plug or data/power cable plugged in to the battery pack.
