EC-5 User's Manual
2. About the EC-5
choice is to obtain an adapter cable from Decagon. The
3-wire sensor adapter cable has a connector for the sen-
sor jack on one end, and three wires on the other end for
connection to a data logger (this type of wire is often
referred to as a "pigtail" adapter). Both the sensor wire
and adapter cable wire have the same wire output
(shown in Fig. 3); the white wire is excitation, red is
output, and the bare wire is ground.

Custom cable lengths may be requested with a 3.5mm
