1. Introduction The A151 is a vented junction box with terminal blocks to connect sensors to the M12 8-pin connector. It has accessories to allow for various lengths of cable and termination options. Figure 1-1. A151 The A151 allows sensors such as pressure transducers to be used without the need to run a ventilation tube all the way to a data logger enclosure.
3. Physical description The A151 has an 8.0 x 8.2 x 5.5 cm (3.15 x 3.228 x 2.171 in) enclosure. Four screws secure the lid to the rest of the unit. A terminal block is mounted inside the enclosure. A small vent is located on the bottom of the enclosure.
The second option is to use the mounting bracket on the back of the A151. This bracket allows the A151 to be mounted inside an enclosure or to another flat surface, using two screws through the bracket to secure the A151.
