  • Page 11: Section 2. Using The Li-570

    Section 2. Using the LI-570 The section describes how to install the LI-570 and assemble the cable connectors. Field installation The LI-570 features a weather-resistant enclosure with connectors for devices. Install the enclosure with connectors pointing to the ground or to the side, and keep the covers in place on unused connectors to prevent water ingress.

  • Page 12: Powering The Li-570

    Section 2. Using the LI-570 Powering the LI-570 The LI-570 receives power through the 3-pin power connector. A 3-socket connector is packaged with the LI-570 unit. Assemble the connector and attach it to a power supply to power on the LI-570. A suitable power cable will have two 20 AWG (0.5 mm cross-section) wire leads with an outer diameter from 4.2 to 5 mm (required for ingress protection).

  • Page 13: Connecting Devices To The Data Logger

    Section 2. Using the LI-570 Connecting devices to the data logger The LI-570 serial input connector uses the same 12-socket connector found at the base of the LI-560 and LI-550P sensors. Figure 2-3 on the next page shows the socket assignments on the connector.
