Connecting Sensors
The ES-2 Sensor was designed to work most efficiently with ME-
TER’s data loggers, or our ProCheck handheld reader. The stan-
dard sensor (with 3.5 mm stereo connector) quickly connects to and
is easily configured within a METER logger or ProCheck.
The ES-2 Sensor incorporates several features that also make it an
excellent sensor for use with third party loggers. The sensor may
be purchased with stripped and tinned wires (pigtail) for terminal
connections. Visit
www.metergroup.com
and search for the
ES-2 In-
tegrator Guide
to get extensive directions on integrating the ES-2
sensor into third party loggers.
The ES-2 Sensor comes standard with a five meter cable. Sensors
may be purchased with custom cable lengths for an additional fee
(on a per-meter basis). METER has tested its digital sensors suc-
cessfully with cable lengths up to 1,000 m (3,200 ft). Using a longer
cable eliminates the need for splicing the cable (a possible failure
point).

Connecting to METER Logger
METER designed the ES-2 to work specifically with METER data
loggers. Simply plug the 3.5 mm “stereo” connector directly into one
of the sensor ports.

The next step is to configure your logger port for the ES-2 Sen-
sor and set the measurement interval. This may be done using ei-
