2.1.1 Cable Gland Models (8002-4-1, 8002-4-2, 8002-4-3)

1) Open the datalogger by unscrewing the four captive screws on the front of the
enclosure. Make sure that no dirt, water or other contaminants are allowed to
enter the enclosure.
2) Loosen the nuts on the cable fittings and remove the white plastic dowels.
3) Thread the transducer cables through the cable fittings.
4) Connect the cable wires to the datalogger's 5-pin internal terminal blocks, located on
the Multiplexer circuit board. (NOTE: The multiplexer board is mounted on the
right side of the enclosure. Do not connect any transducer cables to the terminal
block located on the battery board.) Wire each conductor of the cable into the
correct position in the terminal block by pressing down on the corresponding orange
tab at the back, inserting the conductor, and then releasing the orange tab. Refer to
Table 1 for transducer wiring information. (See also Appendix B.)
