Cable Preparation
The logger uses screwless terminals and to ease connection, wires should be prepared as per
Figure 4. It is important that the stripped ends be accurately 9 to 10mm long to ensure good
connections in the terminals.
Figure 4
Either solid or stranded cable is acceptable, in the range 0.32 to 0.65 mm diameter (AWG 28 to 22)
with gauge 24 being ideal.
Using a small flat headed screw-driver fully depress the grey plunger for the required terminal and
insert the wire as far as it will go, into the hole below the plunger. Release the grey plunger and
the wire is held captive by the connector. A gentle tug on the wire will confirm that it is held
firmly.
If the wire in question is multi-strand, ensure that all strands are inserted in the terminal hole.
Please note that interconnection of all components should be completed prior to applying power.

Power Supply
When the logger is powered using a 7 to 30 V DC supply the central pin on the power socket
should be to GND.
Alternatively, power may be supplied via terminals 1 (black) and 2 (red) on the screwless terminal
connector strip, as per Table 1. Note that if power is supplied via the supply socket then terminal
2 (red) is automatically disconnected.
Warning:
All GNDs are common and so damage to the logger may result if they
are connected to different voltages.
