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 

ATMOS 14 Integrator Guide

 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 

Figure 2

 and 

Figure 3

, 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.
