Section 5
Connecting Sensors to the Field Station
5.1 Introduction
There are five standard sensor packages that may be ordered for use with the 6200 DAS. If you
performed the checkout setup described in Section 2, you should be familiar with these sensors.
The barometer is factory installed. The other four sensors are connected to the 6200 DCP
enclosure using weatherproof MS-style connectors that plug into the bottom of the enclosure and
are secured by a threaded nut. Be careful not to cross-thread the retaining nut. Use your fingers
to tighten the nut. Do not use tools to tighten. Refer to the list below for general reference and
to Figure 5.1 to determine the location of each sensor input connector. If you are not installing
one of the sensors below, be certain to leave the waterproof cap in place and securely attached.
