(1) MS8 connector for the connection of Sensor RS-232 Port 0 or RS-485.
This connector allows for quick connection for instruments such as YSI
Sondes, which has a mating MS8 connector at the end of its cable.
(1) Ground lug for electrical grounding
The ground lug on the outside of the enclosure provides an earth ground
to the electronics inside as well as any sensors powered by the data
logger. A direct burial ground rod version is available as well as a pipe
mount grounding clamp.
These grounding kits can be purchased as part #A38 or A38-P.

(1) MS2 connector for regulated solar or AC float charger connection.
For solar charging applications, three sizes of solar panels are available
to keep a NexSens system charging year round. A 20W solar panel is a
typical size used as it can keep almost any application charging without
worry. An MS2 to flying lead cable can be used to power the data logger
from user supplied external power sources.
Solar panels can be purchased as part #A21 to A23.
