The CR3000 wiring panel is a convenient power distribution device for powering
sensors and peripherals that require a 5 Vdc, or 12 Vdc source. It has two
continuous 12 Vdc terminals (12V), two program-controlled, switched, 12 Vdc
terminals (SW12), and one continuous 5 Vdc terminal (5V). SW12, 12V, and
5V terminals limit current internally for protection against accidental short
circuits. Voltage on the 12V and SW12 terminals can vary widely and will
fluctuate with the dc supply used to power the CR3000, so be careful to match the
datalogger power supply to the requirements of the sensors. The 5V terminal is
internally regulated to within ±4%, which is good regulation as a power source,
but typically not adequate for bridge sensor excitation. TABLE: Current Sourcing
Limits
(p. 424)
lists the current limits of 12V and 5V terminals. Greatly reduced
output voltages on these terminals may occur if the current limits are exceeded.
See Terminals Configured for Control
(p. 428)
for more information.

1
Source is positive amperage (+); sink is negative amperage (–).
2
Exceeding current limits will cause voltage output to become unstable. Voltage should stabilize
once current is again reduced to within stated limits.
3
A polyfuse is used to limit power. Result of overload is a voltage drop. To reset, disconnect and
allow circuit to cool.
