3. 

Thread the instrument or sensor cable through the cable gland and into the 
enclosure. 

4. 

Pull the terminal tab to detach the terminal block from the data logger. 

5. 

Use a 2 mm flat head screwdriver to tighten each of the stripped instrument 
wire to the assigned pins on the terminal block. 

6. 

Tighten the cable gland to seal the connection and protect the data logger 
from moisture and dirt. 

7. 

Screw the front cover back on the data logger following the tightening 
sequence shown in Figure 5. Make sure the rubber seal on the cover is free 
of debris and seated in its groove before tightening the screws.

Configuration Identification Label 

The data logger’s flexible design supports a variety of instruments. Specific 
instrument interface modules (IIM) are installed at the factory. The label on the 
side of the enclosure shows the data logger’s serial number and the configuration 
option shows as 

aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-f-gg-h

,

 

where: 

  aa = instrument port 1 interface (sensor type and connection)* 

  bb = instrument port 2 interface (sensor type and connection)* 

  cc = instrument port 3 interface (sensor type and connection)* 

  dd = instrument port 4 interface (sensor type and connection)* 

  ee = instrument port 5 interface (sensor type and connection)* 

  f = Number of batteries (1=one battery, 2=2 batteries, 3=3 batteries)
