Introdução
Users will gain knowledge in wiring environmental sensor nodes. This includes stripping, splicing, and crimping wires to ensure connections stay in place to withstand time and the elements.
-
-
Grabbing the white connector, pull the battery connector from the solar charge controller
-
Disconnect the plugs for the autosampler battery
-
Be sure to also disconnect the connector that plugs into the battery port of the sampler
-
-
-
-
Unscrew conduit and release to open up more space to work with
-
Unscrew existing wires using 260 / 1.5 x 40 flathead screwdriver
-
-
-
Cut and strip each wire
-
Use a wire cutter to trim existing wire and remove old copper strands
-
Strip the 18-gage wire about 1/4"
-
-
-
Cut 20-gage wire approximately 6 inches. Repeat until you have five new wires.
-
Strip each wire approximately 1/4". Do this on both ends of each wire
-
On only one side of each wire, crimp on a wire ferrule
-
-
-
Crimp a splice connector to the other end of the wire
-
Place the other end of the splice connector over 18-gage wire. Then crimp to secure the connection
-
-
-
Although these wires are in pairs, strip each wire individually, approximately 1/4"
-
-
-
Pull the wires through
-
Reattach the conduit to provide strain relief and prevent wires from being dragged down
-
-
-
Insert the wires and screw down using 260 / 1.5 x 40 flathead screwdriver until tight
-
The battery connectors go in the fifth and sixth positions from the left
-
-
-
Using a 260/2.5 x 50 flathead screwdriver, insert each wire into the respective position shown
-
-
-
Using velcro, re-secure the relay board to the side of the enclosure
-
Using velcro, attach the battery to the inside of the enclosure door
-
In case the wiring of an ultrasonic sensor comes loose, here is the wiring.
-
-
-
First reconnect the batteries.
-
Secure solar charge controller to the side of the enclosure using velcro
-
Plug in the solar panel last
-
Now we can close and lock up the enclosure. The node is ready to test and confirm everything is working,
