Introduction to the LI-570
The LI-570 is a four-port data logger in a weather-resistant enclosure. It features
serial inputs to connect up to four LI-550P TriSonica™ Minis, up to three LI-560
TriSonica™ Spheres, a combination with up to two of each, and other serial devices.
It also supports a GPS receiver and radio transceiver. Collated data can be output to
an external data recorder or logged to a user-supplied MicroSD card installed in the
LI-570. This document provides basic operating information for the product.
Figure 1-1. The LI-570 Data Logger provides four ports for anemometers, one for power in,
one for a GPS receiver, and one for a radio transceiver.
Instructions for earlier models, including the DL422-B, DL422-E1, DL422-E2, or
DL422-E4 are available from licor.com/env/TriSonica-support.

Section 1. Introduction to the LI-570
What's what
If you have just received your LI-570, check the packaging list and be sure you have
received everything you ordered.
Connector panel and cable connector assemblies
The LI-570 has a connector panel for devices and power. It includes cable connector
assemblies that are ready to assemble to a user-supplied cable.
lAnemometer connectors 1 to 4: To connect LI-550s, LI-560s, or other serial
devices. Provides power (12 VDC output; 0.8 watts maximum per connector; 2.4
watts combined maximum) and communication.
lPower in: Power to the LI-570 (10 to 54 VDC; 12 watts).
lGPS receiver: To connect a GPS device. Supports 3.3 UART NEMA0183 pro-
tocols. Provides power (5 VDC output; 0.5 watts maximum) and data trans-
mission.
lRadio transceiver: To connect a cellular or satellite transceiver. Supports 3.3 V
UART. Provides power (5 VDC output; 4.7 watts maximum) and data trans-
mission.
lCable connector assemblies: User-supplied cables can be attached to the power,
GPS, and radio connectors.
Anemometer cables
The following cables are to connect a LI-550s and LI-560s to the data logger.
l571S-1: 1.25-meter cable with one connector and bare leads. Connects a LI-550P
or LI-560 to a serial data recorder.
l571D-1: 1.25-meter cable with two connectors. Connects a LI-550P or LI-560 to
the LI-570 Data Logger.
l571D-10: 10-meter cable with two connectors. Connects a LI-550P or LI-560 to
the LI-570 Data Logger.
l571D-C: Custom cable kit with two sets of connector assemblies for a user-sup-
plied cable. Connects a LI-550P or LI-560 to the LI-570 Data Logger or a serial
data recorder. 25 meters maximum length.
1-2 Using the LI-570 TriSonica™ Data Logger

User-supplied MicroSD card
The data logger has an internal slot that holds a user-supplied MicroSD card for data
storage. No card is provided, but most MicroSD cards will work. Supported formats
are FAT16, FAT32, or exFAT with capacities in excess of 32 GB. Select an SD card
that is rated for the operating conditions you expect for your deployment. Industrial
rated SD cards should be used in some environments. See Installing and removing the
MicroSD card on page7-1 for installation and removal instructions.
Safety information
The LI-570 is a scientific instrument intended to be used and handled by trained pro-
fessionals only. Protect the LI-570 from public access. Mind the safety information
in this manual.
Warning: The LI-570 has an internal coin cell CR1225 battery that maintains the clock
setting when main power is not connected. Replace as needed and dispose of the bat-
tery according to local regulatory guidelines. See Replacing the clock battery on
page7-2.
Warning: Use only batteries or LPS power supply certified with local standards to
power the LI-570. LI-COR is not responsible for any harm or safety issue caused by sup-
plying the product with uncertified batteries, power supplies, or circuits.
Caution: Electric shock risk. Turn off power supply or external battery before
unplugging power connector from LI-570.
Caution: Protect from electrostatic discharge (ESD). The LI-570 circuit board con-
tains electrostatic-sensitive components. Use appropriate ESD handling procedures
when working with the exposed circuit board.
