Figure 5.5 4-Sonde Connection Remote to the 6200 DCP
Four Sondes Deployed Distant to the 6200 DCP
If more than two sondes are required and are remote to the 6200 DCP installation, you will need
two 6502 Breakout Boxes, a 6507 Patch Cable, and a 6508 Junction Box. The breakout boxes
should be mounted near the deployed sondes. The junction box is mounted near the 6200 DCP,
and user supplied cable connects the two breakout boxes to the junction box. 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 5.5 for an illustration.
Note that there are 4 different sonde addresses assigned in this connection scenario. SDI-12
addresses 1, 2, 3, and 4 would be logical, but any unique addresses will work. The wiring
parallels what is described in the previous description and the pin out and color designations in
Figure 5.7 are appropriate for the wiring. You can see from this diagram that to go beyond 4
sondes you will need an additional junction boxes and breakout boxes.
