Appendix D. Datalogger Connection to

a Relay

The CR10, CR7, CR510, and 21X dataloggers do not have a switched 12 V

channel. Either the sensor can remain on or a relay may be used to switch the

power on and off. FIGURE D-1 shows the relay connections.

1. The assignment of channel number (for example, SE Channel

1 or C1) may vary depending on the application.

2. You may use a relay such as Campbell Scientific pn 7321

instead of the switched 12 V connection on the CR10(X),

CR1000, and CR23X wiring panel. Since the CR510 wiring

panels do not have switched 12 V, you will need an external

relay if you need to conserve battery power.
