OPERATION AND MEASUREMENT 

 
VERY IMPORTANT: 

Apogee changed all wiring colors of our bare-lead sensors in March 2018. To ensure 

proper connection to your data device, please note your serial number then use the appropriate wiring 
configuration below.  
 

Wiring for ST-100 Serial Numbers 2725 and above, ST-110 Serial Numbers 2725 and above, and ST-200 Serial 
Numbers 1352 and above

 

 

Wiring for ST-100 Serial Numbers range 0-2724, ST-110 Serial Numbers range 0-2724, and ST-200 Serial Numbers 
range 0-1351

 

Plug each wire into the appropriate data logger terminal following the illustrations below: 

 

 

 

  

Blue: Analog Ground (negative thermistor lead) 

 

Red: Excitation Channel (excitation for thermistor) 

 

Black: Single-ended channel (positive thermistor lead) 

Clear: Ground (shield wire) 

White: Single-ended channel (positive thermistor lead) 

Red: Excitation channel (excitation for thermistor) 

Black: Ground (negative thermistor lead) 

Clear: Shield/Ground
