Auxiliary Input Adapter
for 17xx
Power and Energy Loggers
Instructions
Introduction
The Auxiliary Input Adapter (or Product) is an accessory for
the 17xx Power and Energy Loggers. It allows connection of
up to two sensors for analog measurements. These
measurements include temperature, pressure, and level with
an output voltage of 0 V dc to 10 V dc or a current loop of
4 mA to 20 mA (with additional shunt). Alternately, up to two
dc voltage inputs in the range of 1 V dc to 1000 V dc can be
used for other applications such as solar energy systems.

• Comply with local and national safety codes. Use
personal protective equipment (approved rubber
gloves, face protection, and flame-resistant
clothes) to prevent shock and arc blast injury
where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
• Do not use the Product around explosive gas,
vapor, or in damp or wet environments.
• Limit operation to the specified measurement
category, voltage, or amperage ratings.
• Do not use test leads if they are damaged.
Examine the test leads for damaged insulation,
exposed metal, or if the wear indicator shows.
Check test lead continuity.
• Remove the input signals before you clean the
Product.
• Use only cables with correct voltage ratings.
• Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT)
rating of the lowest rated individual component of
a Product, probe, or accessory.
• Do not use the Product if it is damaged.
• Disable the Product if it is damaged.
• Disconnect test leads before opening the housing.

Direct Input
0 V DC to 10 V DC Configuration
To connect the Adapter:
1. Make sure that all 4 mm safety test leads are disconnected.
2. Loosen the 4 captive screws and remove the lid to
open the housing.
3. Cut and strip the cable.
4. Open the grommet strain relief and remove the dummy
plug D.
Note
The dummy plug or a cable must be installed to achieve
the ingress protection of IP50.

5. Insert the sensor cable through the strain relief .
The cable diameter must be in the range of 3 mm to 6 mm to
ensure proper strain relief.
6. Tighten the strain relief.
7. To connect the wires to the terminals E, press the opening
lever.
8. Correctly orient the lid and close the housing.
9. Tighten the captive screws .
Note
Pay attention to the correct orientation of the lid.
10. Connect the 4-pin connector (not shown) to the Logger.
11. Configure the AUX channel on the Logger to show the
correct readings and unit of measurement for the attached
sensor. For more information, see the documentation for
the Logger and the Sensor.
Voltage Divider Input
1 V DC to 1000 V DC Configuration
To connect the Adapter:
1. Use correctly rated 4 mm test leads on the safety socket
inputs.
Note
Do not connect a signal at the direct input and voltage
divider input at the same time. The measured value will
be incorrect.
2. Connect the 4-pin connector to the Logger.
3. Configure the AUX channel on the Logger to show the
correct readings, select an available custom configuration
(Custom 1 to Custom 5), and use these settings:
• Sensor: 0-10 V
• Unit: V
• Minimum: 0 V
• Maximum: 1000 V
