EC-5 4 CONNECTING SENSORS
4 Connecting Sensors
Decagon designed the EC-5 sensor for use with our Em50 series data
loggers, the Em5b data loggers, or the ProCheck handheld reader.
The standard sensor (with a 3.5 mm “stereo plug” connector) quickly
connects to and is easily configured within a Decagon logger or
ProCheck.
The EC-5 sensor incorporates several features that also make it an
excellent sensor for use with third party loggers. Customers may
purchase the sensor with stripped and tinned wires (pigtail) for ter-
minal connections.
The EC-5 sensor comes standard with a five meter cable. Customers
may purchase sensors with custom cable lengths for an additional
fee (on a per-meter fee basis). Obtaining custom length cables elim-
inates the need for splicing the cable (a possible failure point). The
EC-5 is accurate with cable lengths up to 40 m.
Connecting to an Em50/Em50R Logger/Em50G/em5b
Decagon designed the EC-5 to work specifically with the Em50 data
logger. Simply plug the 3.5 mm stereo plug connector directly into
one of the five sensor ports. Next, configure the logger port for the
EC-5 and set the measurement interval.
Connecting to ECH2O Utility
Please check your software version to ensure it will support the EC-5.
To update your software to the latest version, please visit Decagon’s

Note: You must use the ECH2O Utility, DataTrac 3 or a termi-
nal program on your computer to download data from the logger to
your computer.
