F.7 Maximum 8032-5 (Tan Cable) Cable Lengths
The 8032 Multiplexer is a low power device, that when combined with a 6000 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). Figure 36 displays the maximum recommended
cable length for various Datalogger, Battery Voltage and ambient Temperature combinations.
