8.0 GENERAL MEASUREMENT
CONSIDERATIONS
1. Long lead lengths - long lead lengths
contribute to the formation of induced and
capacitive voltages within the sensor and
AM32 lead wires. To minimize this affect,
CSI recommends use of Teflon,
polyethylene, or polypropylene insulation
around individual conductors. Do not use
PVC insulation on conductors, although it
may be used as a cable jacket. It may also
be necessary to program a delay within the
measurement instruction in order to allow
the capacitance of the lead wires to
discharge before measurement. Please
consult the Measurement section of your
datalogger manual for more information.
2. Common Earth Ground - A connection to
earth ground should be made at the
datalogger. The lead wire that connects the
datalogger power ground to the AM32
power ground establishes a common
ground. The Installation/Maintenance
Section of your datalogger manual has
more information on grounding procedures.
3. Completion resistors - In some applications
it may be advisable to place completion
resistors at the datalogger terminal strips.
In some cases, sensors specific to the use
of multiplexers are available from CSI.
Examples include soil moisture probes and
thermistors. Please consult CSI for
ordering and pricing information.
4. Contact degradation - Once excitation in
excess of 30 mA has been multiplexed, that
set of contacts may be rendered unsuitable
for later low voltage measurement. To
prevent undue degradation, it is advisable
to reserve certain channels for sensor
excitations and other channels for sensor
signals.
5. Sticky Relays - After extended periods of
operation the relays may tend to become
"sticky", resulting in switch bounce while the
measurement is made. If this occurs,
program in a delay after the clock pulse but
before the measurement to allow time for
the relay to settle.
9.0 INSTALLATION
The standard AM32 may be operated in an
indoor, non-condensing environment. If
condensing humidity is a problem or if the
multiplexer might be exposed to liquids, a
water-resistant enclosure is required.
Desiccant should be used in enclosures to
eliminate moisture build-up.
