The SDM-SW8A increases the number of switch closures or voltage pulses a datalogger can measure. Sensors that output a switch closure or voltage pulse signal include tipping bucket rain gages, flow meters, and anemometers.
Leer másThe SDM-SW8A provides eight channels for connecting the sensors. Each channel is individually configured for single-pole double-throw (SPDT), single-pole single-throw (SPST), or voltage pulse measurements. Output options include counts, duty cycle, and state.
The data logger enables individual modules through an addressing scheme; multiple SDMs (in any combination) can be connected to one data logger. We recommend a maximum of four SDM-SW8As be connected to a single data logger. After a module is enabled, it operates independently of the data logger until additional commands are received or results are transmitted.

In the CRBasic data loggers, the SDM-SW8A operation is controlled by the SDMSW8A instruction. Instruction 102 controls the SDM-SW8A operation for Edlog data loggers that were shipped after October 1988 (consult Campbell Scientific for equipment shipped prior to this date).
Due to the 3 mA continuous and 6 mA active current drain, an auxiliary 12 Vdc power supply is recommended for powering the SDM-SW8A in remote, long-term applications.
For some applications, it may be convenient to use the data logger power supply. You can do this where ac power is available, or where a solar panel can be used for recharging the data logger's sealed rechargeable battery.
The SDM-SW8A requires a desiccated, non-condensing environment; a Campbell Scientific enclosure is recommended. Grommets and screws are provided to attach the SDM-SW8A to the backplate of our enclosures.
