Chapter 1: Introduction
The Data Logger 422 (DL422) records data for the TriSonica family of
Ultrasonic 3D Anemometers or other serial ASCII-based instruments. The
DL422 is available as a circuit board (DL422-B) or in a weather-tight
enclosure with either a single (DL422-E1), double (DL422-E2), or quadruple
(DL422-E4) TriSonica sensor connection.
The DL422 can collect data from up to 4 serial instruments, 2 analog inputs, and 2 digital inputs; it
can also connect with GPS receiver and radio transceiver modules.

Safety Information
The DL422 is a scientific instrument intended to be used and handled by trained professionals only.
Protect DL422 from public access.
BATTERY WARNING: Keep Out of Reach of Children. The DL422 contains one lithium coin cell CR1225
battery to power the internal clock. Dispose of battery properly after use following local regulatory
guidelines.
POWER SUPPLY WARNING: Use only batteries or LPS power supply certified with local standards to
power the DL422. Anemoment is not responsible for any harm or safety issue caused by supplying

connector from DL422.
CAUTION: Protect from Electrostatic Discharge. The exposed DL422 circuit board contains
Electrostatic Sensitive Components. Use appropriate ESD Handling procedures when working with
the exposed circuit board.
Care Instructions
Wipe exterior surfaces with a soft lint-free cloth. The cloth may be moistened with water.
Consumable Materials
•Coin cell CR 1225 battery. Replace as needed and dispose of used battery properly after use
according to local regulatory guidelines.

Chapter 3: Attaching the DL422
DL422-E series
The DL422-E-series’ weather-tight enclosure protects the DL422 circuit
board from the environment. The enclosure is IP67 rated. The connectors
are IP67 rated when (1) the connectors on the enclosure are properly
inserted into the matching connectors on the cables that have been
properly sealed, or (2) the connector caps are firmly seated in place.
For the convenience of the user, the DL422-E-series units are shipped with one mating cable-side
connector for each exterior power, analog, or serial connector. The user is responsible for attaching
the cable-side connector to their own sensors and certified power source, including sealing the
cable to the connector to be weather-tight. See Chapter 5: Connecting to the DL422-E-Series for
more information about connector pin-out.
A dimensioned drawing of the enclosure appears below:

Anemoment LLC 8 Data Logger 422 User Manual
DL422-B
The DL422-B includes the DL422 circuit board, a 6-pin connector assembly, and a 12-pin connector
assembly. Information on connecting the connector assemblies to the board appear in Chapter 5.
The DL422-B circuit board may be attached to an appropriate surface or enclosure using the
mounting holes located on the board.
When selecting where and how to attach the board, choose a location protected from water and
dust, consider the additional height of cables and connectors, make sure to have space for SD Card
slot, and make sure to provide a sufficient gap of at least 6mm (0.236 inches) between the bottom
of the board and any adjacent materials or equipment:
DO NOT ALLOW conductive surfaces to touch any circuit elements on the top or bottom of the board.
A dimensioned drawing of the DL422 circuit board appears below.
