4.2.1 COM Terminals
The four terminals dedicated to multiplexer-datalogger connection are located
under the blue “COM” next to the mode switch. The terminals are labeled:
ODD H, ODD L, EVEN H, and EVEN L. In “4X16” mode the AM16/32
maintains the four “COM” terminals electrically isolated from one another. In
“2X32” mode the AM16/32 maintains an internal connection between ODD H
and EVEN H and between ODD L and EVEN L.
Common “
” terminals are provided next to the COM ODD and COM
EVEN terminals. They bus internally to the other thirty-two “
” terminals on
the AM16/32 and are connected at all times (i.e., not switched). Their function
is to provide a path to ground for sensor cable shields. A “COM
” terminal
should be wired to datalogger ground via the MUXSIGNAL cable (or
equivalent) shield according to the following table.

4.2.2 Sensor Input Terminals
The terminals for sensor attachment are divided into 16 groups (panel switch
set to “4X16”) or into 32 groups (panel switch set to “2X32”). The groups
consists of four or two Simultaneously Enabled Terminals (SETs). With panel
switch set to “4X16” mode the blue channel numbers apply. The SETs are
numbered starting at 1 (1H, 1L, 2H, 2L) and continuing until SET 16 (31H,
31L, 32H, 32L).
In “4X16” mode the odd numbered terminals (example: 5H, 5L) are relay
switched to the COM ODD terminals while the even terminals (6H, 6L) are
switched to the COM EVEN terminals. When activated by the RES line being
high, as the AM16/32 receives clock pulses from the datalogger, each SET of
four in turn is switched into contact with the four COM terminals. For
example, when the first clock pulse is received from the datalogger, SET 1 (1H,
1L, 2H, 2L) are connected with COM (ODD H, ODD L, EVEN H, EVEN L)
terminals respectively. When the second clock pulse is received, the first SET
is switched out (channel 1 sensor inputs become open circuits) and SET 2 (3H,
3L, 4H, 4L) are connected to the four COM terminals. A given SET will
typically be connected to the common terminals for 20 ms.
