Power and ground

Each AVW200 has a ground lug for connection to earth (chassis) ground and a green connector for attachment to a power source (see Ground lug and power connectors on the AVW200).

NOTE:

Only connect the AVW200 ground lug to earth ground when the AVW200 is not directly connected to the data logger. When a data logger is in the same enclosure, only connect the data logger ground lug to earth ground.

The AVW200 ground lug is connected to earth ground using an 8 AWG wire. This connection should be as short as possible.

The power cable terminates in pigtails that attach to the 12V and G terminals on the AVW200 and the power source. The AVW200 is often powered by the data logger, but another 12 VDC power source may be used.
