8032 Manual for more information). The standard model 8025-4 and 8025-5 dataloggers are identical to the model 8025-2, but are configured for 32 VW gages only (8025-4) or 32 Thermistors only (8025-5). The standard model 8025-3 Micro-800 datalogger can support two internal 16 channel Multiplexers and has 32 cable entries.
3. INSTALLATION The recommended method of installation involves attaching the enclosure (MICRO-800) to a fixed structure, such as a wall, in an upright position (Figure 1). Mounting dimensions shown in inches: Figure 1 - Dimensions 3.1 Turning on Power After the Datalogger is installed the charger can be plugged into the AC mains and the On/Off switch S1 on the Charge Regulation circuit board switched to the “On”...
3.2 Earth Ground An earth grounding lug is supplied on the exterior of the Micro-800 enclosure to connect the system to earth ground (Figure 3). A grounding rod can be driven (or other suitable attachment to earth utilized) to ground the system and provide a path to earth for protection against a lightning strike or other transient voltage.
If the internal Lead Acid Battery has failed it is recommend that the unit be returned to the factory for service by Geokon personnel. However, with skilled personnel and appropriate tools, it is possible for the user to replace the battery. Consult the factory for information.
6. TROUBLESHOOTING This section will NOT attempt to cover all possible problems that could be encountered in the course of Datalogger operations. Consult the factory if other problems arise or remain unresolved. Cannot communicate with the Datalogger. Suggestions: The wrong communication cables are being used or the cables in use are defective. Consult Appendix D.3 to verify cable pinout.

F.8 DAISY CHAIN OPERATION Up to 8032’s may be ”daisy chained” together using a common RESET and CLOCK control line. This may be advantageous in situations where either there are not enough control ports available on the Micro-800/MICRO-1000 datalogger for the number of multiplexers desired, or to reduce the number of cables required to implement a large multichannel system.

F.9 MAXIMUM 8032-5 (TAN CABLE) CABLE LENGTHS The 8032 Multiplexer is a low power device, that when combined with a Micro-800 or Micro- 1000 Datalogger can be physically located at a considerable distance from that Datalogger. Still, there are limits to the maximum distance – mostly due to the voltage dropped by the 8032-5 MUX cable over its length.
F.10 MEMS SENSOR TO MULTIPLEXER WIRING Up to sixteen Uniaxial MEMS sensors are connected to the Canary six wire Multiplexer through the weather tight strain relief fittings mounted to the Datalogger enclosure; with the final connection made to the terminal blocks mounted on the Multiplexer. Each terminal block, or Multiplexer channel, consists of seven clamp connections.
