Circular Connector Wiring Guide (Enclosure and Sensor) - hydrogeologger/pyduino GitHub Wiki

The following guide depicts the wiring format for circular connectors used on enclosure and sensor cable side.

General

The following table describes a 4-pin mapping of a circular connector, for a 3-pin just follow up to pin #3.

Pin # Wire-Colour GeneralDescription Serial
1 Red V+ V+
2 Black V- / GND V- / GND
3 White* Data Tx from Sensor
4 * Misc / Heater Rx from Sensor

* Wire colour is a guideline, please use consistent wire combinations

** Note - Legacy pin numbering is based on wire color instead of functionality. Only included for archival reference purpose.

Enclosure Connector Wiring NOTES

Metal Connectors

When using metal connectors for SDI-12 sensors, it has been noted that when there is no sensors connected, a pull down resistor is required to prevent logger from detected false sensors. Recommended 47k Ohm per sensor channel.
