    3.4 Battery installation WARNING: Pay attention to the correct polarity during battery installation! The right polarity is marked up on the Battery Holder. The unit is protected against reverse polarity. 3.5 Wiring the digital (Counter) Input COM: GND Digital Input states are: Contact closed ...
  • Page 8: Wiring The Analog Input

    3.6 Wiring the analog input ADS-260 incorporates 1 analog input with 12 bit resolution. The Analog input is scanned according to the selected message transmission period (see 4.5.2). For current measurements, an external 47R/0.25W resistor can be applied between the input terminals (J6-1 and J6-5) on IN1. ADU-260 incorporates two excitation outputs (12V, 5V) to supply external transducers.

    3.7 Wiring the SDI-12 Serial Bus SDI-12 is an asynchronous, ASCII, serial communications protocol that was developed for intelligent sensory instruments that typically monitor environmental data. The communication is achieved by digital communications. The addressing system allows data recorder to communicate with several microprocessor-based sensors over a single line.

    4.5 Data Acquisition Parameters 4.5.1 Sampling delay (Warm up time) The parameter defines an idle period between switching on the excitation and reading the measurements from the analog and the SDI-12 channels. This option should be set according to the transducer with the longest warm up time for stable reading. value of this parameter affects strongly the battery life.
