OTHER ENCLOSURE  

Depending  on  the  nature  of  the  enclosure,  either  a  keyhole  mounting  plate  can  be 
fastened to one wall of the enclosure or a sheet of plywood can be used.  In this case 
you will need a set of the mounting adapters.  

Remove  the  screws  from  the  back  of  the  data  logger  and  use  them  to  fasten  the 
mounting adapters to the data logger case.  You can then fasten the adapters to the 
plywood using wood screws. 

Connect a grounding wire to the data logger ground stud. 

CONNECTING SDI SENSORS  

SDI  sensors  from  a  variety  of  manufacturers  are  supported.   If  the  sensor  was 
supplied  by  FTS  then  it  will  have  been  programmed  to  its  final  parameters  and 
system  address,  otherwise  you  will  need  to  remember  to  program  the  sensor  to  its 
final address and set up any programmable characteristics (i.e. units) that you need.  
The procedure to do this varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. 

Remember  to  set  the  sensor  command  and  address  in  the  data  logger  program  to 
match that set into the sensor.   Incorrect or missing readings will result if this is not 
done correctly. 

Sensors supplied by FTS have a 3 pin waterproof connector attached, so all that is 
necessary to set it up is to plug it in to the data logger. 

If  you  have  a  sensor  with  bare  wires  then  it  will  be  necessary  to  solder  the  correct 
connector to the cable.  See Appendix A for the correct connector and pin-out. 

CONNECTING AN FTS RAIN GAUGE  

The FTS tipping bucket rain gauge connects directly into the matching connector on 
the  data  logger.   The  front  panel  RAIN  connector  is  color  coded  with  a  blue  ring  to 
correspond with the blue ring on the rain gauge cable. 

See  the  section  Built-in  sensor  definitions  for  the  various  readings  available  from 
this  sensor.   Connector  pin-out  is  defined  in  Appendix  A,

 

along  with  the  input 

specifications. 

CONNECTING OTHER FTS SENSORS 

FTS Forest Technology Systems can also supply a variety of other sensors including: 

 

Wind speed and wind direction 

 

Air temperature and humidity 

 

Fuel stick moisture and temperature 

 

Visibility 

 

Solar Radiation 

 

Barometric Pressure 

 

Etc. 

Please contact FTS for further information on integrating the above sensors with the 
HDL1 data logger.
