3. Initial Inspection Upon receipt of the Model BX-597A, inspect the packaging and contents for damage. If the packaging has arrived in a damaged condition file a claim with the shipping company and contact Met One Instruments, Inc.
The BX-597A ships from Met One Instruments pre-wired for digital output signals including RS- 232 and RS-485. The BX-597A also includes voltage outputs for AT/RH/BP, and an ID voltage used by some Met One monitors and dataloggers to identify the sensor. The voltage outputs are 0-2.5VDC default and can be changed to 0-1VDC or 0-5VDC.
5.3. Wiring The BX-597A may be ordered with a 10547 analog output cable assembly, or 10548 digital output cable assembly (sold separately) for connection (Individual wire leads) of the BX-597A to a data logger, signal conditioner, or programmable logic controller. A detailed wiring diagram for each cable assembly is provided in Section 10: Wiring Diagrams.
