Two Sondes Deployed Distant to the 6200 DCP
If two sondes are required and are both some distance from the 6200 DCP installation (e.g., more
than 200 ft. (60 m), then the 6502 Breakout Box combined with a 6508 Junction Box and a 6507
Patch Cable provide most of what you need to link the sondes with the 6200 DCP. The breakout
box is mounted where the sondes are deployed. The junction box is mounted right near the 6200
DCP and a user provided cable connects the two boxes. The patch cable connects the junction
box to the 6200 DCP. A maximum of 250 ft. (75 m) is recommended between the farthest sonde
and 6200 DCP. See Figure 5.4 for an illustration of this configuration.
The 6508 Junction Box is basically an empty box with a cover and three holes available for feed-
through glands or conduit fittings. Using wire nuts or terminal strips, you can splice the SDI-12
cable from the Breakout Box to the Patch Cable that connects to the 6200 DCP. See the wiring
diagrams below which identify the pin outs and cable color information needed to make these
connections.
