HD33MT series – Data loggers V4.3 The switched power supply output +Vsw2 can be used to power the sensors and can be configured as always active, active only during measurements acquisition or always disabled (if only passive sensors are used). When active, it has the same value as the battery voltage if the data logger is powered by a solar panel (+Vpanel input), while it is equal to the voltage of the +Vdc input if the data logger is powered by a direct voltage power supply unit (+Vdc input).
