7.9.18.4 SDI-12 Power Considerations
When a command is sent by the CR1000 to an SDI-12 probe, all probes on the
same SDI-12 port will wake up. However, only the probe addressed by the
datalogger will respond. All other probes will remain active until the timeout
period expires.
Example:
Probe: Water Content
Power Usage:
•
Quiescent: 0.25 mA
•
Measurement: 120 mA
•
Measurement time: 15 s
•
Active: 66 mA
•
Timeout: 15 s
Probes 1, 2, 3, and 4 are connected to SDI-12 / control port
C1
.
The time line in table
Example Power Usage Profile for a Network of SDI-12
Probes
(p. 281)
shows a 35 second power-usage profile example.
For most applications, total power usage of 318 mA for 15 seconds is not
excessive, but if 16 probes were wired to the same SDI-12 port, the resulting
power draw would be excessive. Spreading sensors over several SDI-12 terminals
will help reduce power consumption.
