Digital sensors
General
Up to four digital sensors - mechanical switches or active devices - may be connected to the panel mount
version of a Chatter™ Data Logger.
The common side of the digital sensors are connected to either the terminal marked GND or the terminal
marked 3V6-A depending on the type of digital sensor used.
The other side of the digital sensor is connected to one of the terminals DI 1, DI 2, DI 3 or DI 4
Mode
Normal state, no alarm or event
Active state, alarm or event
Normally open, a
floating input is the
normal state, an
input connected to
GND generates an
event or alarm.
Normally closed, an
input connected to
GND is the normal
state, a floating
input generates an
event or alarm.
Active high, a
voltage less than 2 V
relative to GND is
the normal state, a
voltage between 2 V
and 5 V relative to
GND generates an
event or alarm.
Active low, a voltage
greater than 2 V
relative to GND is
the normal state, a
voltage between 2 V
and 5 V relative to
GND generates an
event or alarm.
Active high, a
voltage less than 2 V
relative to GND is
the normal state, a
voltage between 2 V

Analog sensors
General
Up to four analog sensors may be connected to the panel mount version of a Chatter™ Data Logger.
Connect the power supply leads - the red and
brown wires - from all four sensors to the
terminals in this way:
Red wire - positive supply lead - to the
terminal marked +5 / 10 / 15V
Brown wire - negative supply lead - to one of
the terminal marked GND
Connect the white wire - the signal lead - to one
of the four terminals AI 1, AI 2, AI 3 or AI 4
If you are using a level transmitter for relative
measurements, you must take care not to
damage the pressure relief tube inside the
cable.
Take great care NOT to short-circuit the terminal 3V6-A to GND if you use it as a power source for
the digital inputs. It will cause irreparable damage to the Chatter™ Data Logger

yellow wires - from all four sensors to the
terminals in this way:
Gray wire - signal lead A - to the
terminal marked RS485 - A
Yellow wire - signal lead B - to the
terminal marked RS485 - B
If you are using a level transmitter for
relative measurements, you must take
care not to damage the pressure relief
