Connecting the Altimeter to the eLogger V1/V2
The Altimeter plugs into the “Aux” or “LCD” port of your eLogger V1/V2, as shown in Figure 4. If you have a PowerPanel or other
MicroSensors, those can “daisy chain” connect to the pins on the other side of your Altimeter, with the polarity as indicated on the Altimeter
label.
NOTE: The Standalone Cable must not be used when connected to the eLogger!
