NexSens MCIL wiring for Turner C3/C6 Signal Converter

The Turner Designs C3/C6 digital converter kit converts the signal output from the sensor from RS-232 to RS-422. Converters are required on Turner devices that utilize cables longer than 10 meters, as RS-232 signals can only transmit over that distance. However, the X2 data logger is incompatible with the RS-422 sensor interface; thus, the user […]

MCBH & MCIL Connector Operation & Maintenance

Multiple NexSens data logger models and CB-MCL wet-mate lids include male and female Micro-Circular Bulkhead (MCBH) connectors compatible with Micro-Circular In-line (MCIL) sensor connectors. These connectors are designed for use in wet conditions (not while submerged) as they force out water as connectors are mated. Like other connector types, MCBH and MCIL connectors still require […]

What are the maximum cable lengths supported by X-Series data loggers?

X-Series data loggers support the RS-232, RS-485, and SDI-12 sensor interfaces using NMEA0183, Modbus, and SDI-12 communication protocols. Below is a general guideline for the maximum reliable cable length for each interface. SDI-12 RS-232 RS-485 200 ft. (~60 m)* ~164 ft. (50 m)** 4000 ft. (~1,200 m) *The SDI-12 bus is capable of having 10 […]

What is required for a Main SD card replacement?

If the main SD card fails in an X2 data logger, a NexSens technician will provide two folders that must be installed on a replacement card. Replacement SD cards can be sourced independently or purchased directly through NexSens’ U.S. distributor, Fondriest Environmental. The X2 requires a 256 MB industrial-grade SLC SD card. Consumer-grade SD cards […]
