Connect the included AC adaptor to the DC IN on the WX-7000. 3-1-3. WX-7064 Included AC adaptor Connection cable Connect one included AC adaptor to the DC IN on the WX-7000 and the second included AC adaptor to the DC IN on the third AU-WXEPIO unit from the top.
Connection cable Connect one included AC adaptor to the DC IN on the WX-7000, the second adaptor to the DC IN on the 3rd AU-WXEPIO unit from the top, the third adaptor to the 5th unit and the fourth adaptor to the 7th unit.
For complete protection against power outages, use an uninterrupt- ible power supply (UPS) for the external power source. Have the UPS send a power outage contact signal to the WX-7000 so that it will conduct recording completion procedures. Power the WX-7000 through its AC adaptor from a power output from the UPS.
A Transducer Electronic Data Sheet (TEDS) is a standard format defined in IEEE 1451.4 for recording information specific to a measurement sen- sor that is stored within the sensor itself. By connecting a TEDS sensor with a TEDS-compatible WX-7000, sensor calibration is made unnecessary, reducing the time required for measurement preparations.
