2.1 Power input
The data logger requires a power supply. It can receive power from a variety of sources, operate
for several months on non-rechargeable batteries, and supply power to many sensors and
devices. The data logger operates with external power connected to the green BAT and/or CHG
terminals on the face of the wiring panel. The positive power wire connects to +. The negative
wire connects to -. The power terminals are internally protected against polarity reversal and high
voltage transients.
In the field, the data logger can be powered in any of the following ways:
l
10 to 18 VDC applied to the BAT + and – terminals
l
16 to 32 VDC applied to the CHG + and – terminals
To establish an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), connect the primary power source (often a
transformer, power converter, or solar panel) to the CHG terminals and connect a nominal 12
VDC sealed rechargeable lead-acid battery to the BAT terminals. See
(p. 113) for
more information.
