Installing the Transducer

Note

Some data acquisition systems, power systems, and alternators may
introduce electrical noise spikes to the battery and cabling. The TI
electronics should always be used with the cleanest power supply
possible. To reduce the likelihood of noise spikes from the data recorder,
we suggest running the power cables in parallel, as shown in the
following diagrams. If this does not remove the noise spikes, separate
batteries may be required.

The data recorder should also be connected to the battery negative terminal.
(See the following figures.)
