2.10 Data Logger Connections
2.10.1 MS8 Connector Wiring
On the outside of the iSIC enclosure is an MS8 connector which is used for sensor wiring. This
connector allows for quick connection for instruments such as YSI Sondes, which has a mating
MS8 connector at the end of its cable. Additionally, this connector can be used to bring out
sensor signals that are not otherwise available on the green terminal strips.
Contact NexSens for information on MS8 to flying lead cables.
