The “–RJ” option has an RJ-45 connector on one end for connecting directly to the CPI port
on a data logger such as the CR6 or to a CPI port on the HUB-CPI if a network of several CPI
devices is being installed in a star topology. The other end of the cable has an M16
connector for connecting to the CSAT3BH block.
The following paragraphs outline the types of cables needed for a specific communications
mode. For information on maximum cable lengths, refer to the specifications in
Power/SDM cable (CSAT3BCBL1)
To use SDM communications to collect data from a CSAT3BH with a data logger, the
CSAT3BCBL1-L-PT or CSAT3BCBL1-L-MC should be ordered.
(p. 9) shows the two
versions. This cable transmits both power and SDM communication signals.
NOTE:
To collect data through another means (such as CPI, RS-485, or USB), the CSAT3BCBL1
Power/SDM cable may still be used to provide power to the CSAT3BH, in which case the SDM
wires should be left unwired to any ports on the data logger.

Power cable (CSAT3BCBL2)
To use CPI, RS-485, or USB communications to collect data from a CSAT3BH, the
CSAT3BCBL2-L-PT or CSAT3BCBL2-L-MC should be ordered to provide power to the sensor. A
second cable to transmit the communications is also required (for example, a CSAT3BCBL3
CPI/RS-485 cable for CPI or RS-485, or a USB data cable).
For installations with long cable lengths, the CSAT3BCBL2 is preferred over the CSAT3BCBL1 for
providing power due to the heavier gauge wires that reduce voltage drop over long distances.
Allowed length is 1 to 550 feet. Although the maximum cable length is 550 feet, users requiring a
cable length of 401 to 550 feet should use a 24 V power supply.
