4. GEONET ADDRESSABLE SENSOR NODES

Model 8800-5 and 8800-6 GeoNet Addressable Sensor Nodes are used to communicate with
6150E Addressable MEMS strings (Figure 16).
Figure 16 - 6150E Addressable MEMS and Addressable Sensor Node
Addressable Sensor Nodes function in the same manner as other Nodes, and can be installed
using the previous sections in the manual. Because the Node powers the MEMS sensors lithium
batteries are required; therefore, the power switch is on/off only and does not have the option
of selecting alkaline or lithium.

4.1 Sensor Wiring

For sensors that have a 5-pin bulkhead connector attached, align the grooves on the sensor
connector (male), with the connector on the Node (female). Push the connector into place and
then twist the outer ring of the male connector until it locks. For sensors with bare leads, wire the
6150E into the Node per Table 5 and Figure 17 on the following page.
Once the string has been correctly wired into the Node and the unit has been powered on, no
other setup is required with the hardware. The remaining configuration is completed using the
Agent software program. Refer to the Agent instruction manual for more information.
