Page 5: About The Connect Sensor I/O Interface
About the Connect Sensor I/O interface You can wire analog and digital inputs and outputs on the Connect Sensor general purpose I/O interface. Note If you are using a Modbus-enabled external sensor device, you must wire the sensor device to a serial output. -
Page 6: Use A Modbus-Enabled Device With Csense Continuous Monitoring Firmware
If you have a Modbus-enabled device that must get power from Connect Sensor, the Modbus device must be wired to the serial power output. However, if you have updated Connect Sensor with the CSENSE Continuous Monitoring firmware option, the Modbus device must be wired to A1 Pwr (analog interface 1 power output). -

Page 10: Wire Sensors To The I/O Interface
Wire sensors to the I/O interface To wire third-party sensors to the Connect Sensor I/O interface, you need the following equipment: A slot-headed 0.4 x 2.5 x 80 mm screwdriver Wire size 1.29-0.25 mm (16-30 AWG) for each pin connector Note All external or field wiring must be in accordance with NFPA 70 Article 501.10(B). - Page 11 Over tightening an unused cable gland cap can force out the plastic hole cover, unsealing the cable gland. 3. Run the sensor cable through the cap and thread it through the cable gland. Digi Connect® Sensor I/O Wiring Guide...

5. Slide the wire into the terminal side of the connector. 6. Tighten the screw to 0.2 N-m to secure the wire to the connector. 7. Tighten the cap to the cable gland to seal and secure the wire. Digi Connect® Sensor I/O Wiring Guide... -
Page 13: Power Options
The following sections provide details about powering Connect Sensor and its sensors. Power Connect Sensor While Connect Sensor has an internal battery for power, you can use an external power source, such as solar panels or other DC sources. For an external power source, use the external power input to power the Connect Sensor device. - Page 14 Power options Power the sensors Note When using continuous monitoring, the combined maximum output current for ALL sensors is 200 mA.

Page 15: Analog Input
Analog input The analog inputs have the following modes of operation, which are disabled by default. You can enable or disable the modes, but use only one mode for each input. Voltage input Current loop Digi Connect® Sensor I/O Wiring Guide... -
Page 16: Voltage Input
Analog input Voltage input Voltage input Connect Sensor can monitor a voltage input from 0 V to 10 V. The following schematics show wiring options for 0-10 V input. Self-powered This figure shows the schematic when the external sensor is self-powered or powered from a source other than Connect Sensor. -

Page 19: Digital I/O
Digital I/O Connect Sensor has one digital I/O pin. You can configure the pin as a digital input, pulse counter, or digital output, but not more than one I/O function simultaneously. Digital input and pulse counter Digital output Digi Connect® Sensor I/O Wiring Guide... -
Page 20: Digital Input And Pulse Counter
Input mode: Connect Sensor gets the digital input value at scheduled sensor readings. You can configure it to send an alarm report for specific input values or when an input value changes. You can also configure Connect Sensor to wake from sleep mode when an input value changes (rising edge or falling edge wake). -
Page 21: Digital Output
When configuring the digital I/O pin as a digital output, it is an open collector output with an optional pull-up resistor. A self-resetting fuse limits the maximum collector current to 750 mA. The following image shows a schematic of the typical digital-out application. Digi Connect® Sensor I/O Wiring Guide... -
