Figure 6: Power Supply and CR10X in Protective Enclosure
Fix the central grounding cable of the protective enclosure to the ground terminal on the CR10X wiring panel. This
is essential for protecting the instrument against lightning strikes. It is also crucial for obtaining precise measure-
ments, as sensors and datalogger need the same ground reference.
Before connecting the CR10X to the external power supply, toggle the switch on the charger/regulator to ‘OFF’ to
make sure that power is disconnected.
Connect the red wire attached to the 12V terminal of the BP24 power supply to its 12V counterpart on the wiring
panel. In the same manner, connect the black wire attach to the ground terminal on the BP24 to the ‘power in’ G
terminal on the wiring panel. The above sequence is important to avoid creating a short circuit. DO NOT supply power
to the logger until all sensors are properly connected, and all other hardware installation activities are completed.
Connect the various sensor cables to the CR10X wiring panel according to the wiring schedule in Annex 2 and the
below presented table 1. All wires are pre-stripped and pre-tinned, and there is no need for removing more wire
isolation. Do not cut any wire since the complete length may be useful in future applications. Instead, attach all sen-
sor cables properly to the datalogger and instrument container/enclosure with the supplied strain relief flanges and
cable ties.
