Connecting Sensors
Decagon designed the 10HS sensor for use with our Em50 series data
loggers, the Em5b, or the ProCheck handheld reader. The standard
sensor (with a 3.5 mm “stereo plug” connector) quickly connects to
and is easily configured within a Decagon logger or ProCheck.
The 10HS sensor incorporates several features that also make it an
excellent sensor for use with third party loggers. Customers may
purchase the sensor with stripped and tinned wires (pigtail) for ter-
minal connections.
The 10HS sensor comes standard with a five meter cable. Customers
may purchase sensors with custom cable lengths for an additional
fee (on a per-meter fee basis). Obtaining custom length cables elim-
inates the need for splicing the cable (a possible failure point). The
10HS is accurate with cable lengthes up to 40 m.
Connecting to an Em50/Em50R Logger
The 10HS to works well with the Em50 data logger. Simply plug
the 3.5 mm stereo plug connector directly into one of the five sensor
ports. Next, configure the logger port for the 10HS and set the mea-
surement interval.

your computer.
