Wireless Analog Input Node

Wireless Simplicity, Hardwired Reliability™

The SG-Link

®

-200 is a 3-channel wireless sensor with a rugged, weatherproof 

enclosure. It includes onboard PGA, filtering, and a high-resolution ADC for 

precise measurement of a large range of sensor types including strain gauges, 

load cells, pressure transducers, and accelerometers. The SG-Link-200 

is ideal for both test and measurement and long term condition monitoring 

applications. 

Use this document to deploy the SG-Link-200 for data collection. This includes 

electrical wiring, mounting the device, and using SensorConnect software to 

configure the node, start sampling, and display data.
