Figure 6: PS12-LA and CR10X in ENC12/14 Protective Enclosure
Fix the central grounding cable of the protective enclosure to the ground terminal on the CR10X wiring panel. This
is essential for protecting the instrument against lightning strikes. It is also crucial for obtaining precise measure-
ments, as sensors and datalogger need the same ground reference.
Before connecting the CR10X to the external power supply, toggle the switch on the PS12-LA charger/regulator to
‘OFF’, to make sure that power is disconnected.
Connect the red wire attached to the 12V terminal of the PS12-LA power supply to its 12V counterpart on the wiring
panel. In the same manner, connect the black wire attach to the ground terminal on the PS12-LA to the ‘power in’ G
terminal on the wiring panel. The above sequence is important to avoid creating a short circuit. DO NOT supply power
to the logger until all sensors are properly connected, and all other hardware installation activities are completed.
Connect the various sensor cables to the CR10X wiring panel according to the wiring schedule in Annex 2 and the
below presented table 1. All wires are pre-stripped and pre-tinned, and there is no need for removing more wire iso-
lation. Do not cut any wire since the complete length may be useful in future applications. Instead, attach all sensor
cables properly to the datalogger and ENC12/14 enclosure with the supplied strain relief flanges and cable ties.

Table 1: Wiring Schedule
After connecting all sensors to the wiring panel, the user should load an appropriate datalogger program into the
CR10X. To this end, store the METSTAT datalogger program in Program Location 8 of the SM4M storage module (see
Annex 8 for the complete instructions for this activity), and then connect the SM4M storage module and CR10KD
keyboard display to the logger using the SC12 cable.
Box 1: Permanent Storage of METSTAT in Program Location 8 of the SM4M
It is advised to leave an uncorrupted version of METSTAT at all times in program location 8 of the SM4M
storage module. As discussed later in the “trouble shooting’ chapter, a wide range of possible operation prob-
lems can be solved by reloading METSTAT into the datalogger.
