Maximum 8032-5 (Tan Cable) Cable Lengths - Geokon 8025 Instruction Manual

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. Factors such as ambient temperature, number of 8032 Multiplexers
(Daisy-Chain configuration) and system battery voltage need to be considered in determining the
maximum 8032-5 cable length.
For a single 8032 Multiplexer under normal operating conditions (System Battery = 12V,
ambient temperature = 20 °C), the maximum recommended cable length from the Datalogger to
the 8032 Multiplexer is 4588 feet (1400m). The chart below displays the maximum
recommended cable length for various Datalogger, Battery Voltage and ambient Temperature
combinations.
