Connecting The Atmos 22; Connecting To A Zentra, Em60, Or Em50 Family Data Logger - METER ATMOS 22 Instructions Manual

Protecting Cables
2.2 CONNECTING THE ATMOS 22
The ATMOS 22 Ultrasonic Anemometer works most efficiently with ZENTRA-, EM60-, or
Em50-family data loggers. However, this system will not work with legacy data loggers
(Decagon Em5, Em5B).
2.2.1 CONNECTING TO A ZENTRA, EM60, OR EM50 FAMILY DATA LOGGER
The ATMOS 22 works seamlessly with ZENTRA, EM60, or Em50 data loggers. Logger
configuration may be done using either ZENTRA Utility (desktop and mobile) or ZENTRA
Cloud (for cell-enabled ZENTRA data loggers).
1. Plug the 3.5-mm stereo plug connector into one of the sensor ports.
2. Once the ATMOS 22 has been connected to a ZENTRA, EM60, or Em50 data logger,
configure the logger port for the ATMOS 22.
3. Set the measurement interval.
Download ATMOS 22 data from a ZENTRA, EM60, or Em50 logger using either ZENTRA
Utility or ZENTRA Cloud.
The standard station with a 3.5-mm stereo plug connector (Figure 1) connects to and is
configured with a ZENTRA, EM60, or Em50 data logger.
Table 1 Installation (continued)
Improperly protected cables can lead to severed cables or disconnected
sensors. Cabling issues can be caused by many factors such as rodent damage,
driving over sensor cables, tripping over the cable, not leaving enough cable
slack during installation, poor sensor wiring connections.
Relieve Cable Strain
To relieve strain on the connections and prevent loose cabling from being
inadvertently snagged, gather and secure the cables travelling between the
ATMOS 22 and the data acquisition device to the mounting mast in one or
more places.
Prevent Rodent Damage
Install cables in conduit or plastic cladding when near the ground to avoid
rodent damage.
Secure Excess Cable
Tie excess cable to the data logger mast to ensure cable weight does not cause
sensor to unplug.
