Data Collection Platform (DCP)
This signal output adapter (SOA) allows users to connect an EXO sonde to a Data Collection Platform (DCP)
as well as power it via an external 12 V DC source (not included). Users wire a sonde cable with flying leads
into one side of the SOA and an SDI-12 /RS-232 output and power source into the other. Mount the SOA in
a humidity-controlled enclosure using the following recommended hardware, and never attempt to perform
electrical work beyond your experience.

1 Configure sonde.
Using KOR software, go to the Deploy menu and choose
to deploy by opening a template or starting a custom
deployment. Click Edit, then go to the SDI-12 tab and
select your parameters and the SDI address. The sonde's
default address is zero (0). Click save. Refer to Section 5
KOR Software for more details.
2 Route cable.
Determine the sonde cable routing to the DCP, and protect
the cable from chafe damage and impact.
Route the cable through a sealing gland into the DCP, and
ensure that the seal is air-tight and water-tight.
3 Mount SOA.
Users can mount the SOA horizontally or vertically either
by the screw slots on the sides of the SOA or with the
included 3M adhesive strips. The screw slots were designed
to accept #4 wood screws but may accept other types and
sizes.
If the user opts to use adhesive strips, first clean the
application surface with a 50:50 mixture of isopropyl
alcohol and water, then mount them in temperatures
between 21° and 38°C and allow the bond to cure for 72
hours if possible before attaching wires.
