8-Pin Sensor Port Signal Information
Note: All splitter extensions contain the same pinout and signal configuration; however, only one 232 sensor can be connected to each splitter/port. The arrow on the 2-way splitter and the end port on the 4-way splitter indicates on which port the 232 sensor may be connected.
| MCIL-8-MP Sensor Port Pin# | Signal |
| 1 | RS232 Tx* |
| 2 | GND |
| 3 | RS232 Rx* |
| 4 | +5V |
| 5 | +12V |
| 6 | SDI-12 |
| 7 | RS-485B |
| 8 | RS-485A |
*RS-232 transmit/recieve is labeled from the data logger’s perspective (should be wired to sensor’s receive/transmit, respectively).
