APPENDIX E - MAXIMUM 8032-5 (TAN CABLE) CABLE LENGTHS
The 8032 Multiplexer is a low power device, that when combined with a Micro-800 or Micro-
1000 Datalogger can be physically located at a considerable distance from that Datalogger.
Still, there are limits to the maximum distance – mostly due to the voltage dropped by the 8032-5
MUX cable over its length. Factors such as ambient temperature, number of 8032 Multiplexers
(Daisy-Chain configuration) and system battery voltage need to be considered in determining the
maximum 8032-5 cable length.
For a single 8032 Multiplexer under normal operating conditions (System Battery = 12V,
ambient temperature = 20°C), the maximum recommended cable length from the Datalogger to
the 8032 Multiplexer is 4588 feet (1400m). Figure E.1 displays the maximum recommended
cable length for various Datalogger, Battery Voltage and ambient Temperature combinations.
