ATMOS 14 GEN 2
2.2.2 CONNECT TO NON-METER LOGGER
The ATMOS 14 can be purchased for use with non-METER (third party) data loggers. Refer
to the third-party logger manual for details on logger communications, power supply,
and ground ports. The
also provides detailed instructions on
connecting sensors to non-METER loggers.
ATMOS 14 sensors can be ordered with stripped and tinned (pigtail) wires for use with screw
terminals. Refer to the third-party logger manual for details on wiring.
Connect the ATMOS 14 wires to the data logger as illustrated in
and
, with
the power supply wire (brown) connected to the excitation, the digital out wire (orange) to a
digital input, and the bare ground wire to ground.

NOTE: The VP-4 (predecessor to ATMOS 14) may have the older Decagon wiring scheme where the power supply is
white, the digital out is red, and the bare wire is ground.

NOTE: The acceptable range of excitation voltages is from 3.6 to 15.0 VDC. To read the ATMOS 14 with Campbell
Scientific data loggers, power the sensors off a switched 12-V port.
If the ATMOS 14 cable has a standard stereo plug connector and needs to be connected to
a non-METER data logger, use one of the following two option
Option 1
1. Clip off the stereo plug connector on the sensor cable.
2. Strip and tin the wires.
3. Wire it directly into the data logger.
