Powering the LI-570
The LI-570 receives power through the 3-pin power connector. A 3-socket
connector is included for this purpose. Assemble the connector with a user-
supplied power cable. A suitable power cable will have two 20 AWG (0.5
mm cross-section) wire leads with an outer diameter from 4.2 to 5 mm
(required for ingress protection).
The LI-570 will power on when power is supplied.
Assembling cable connectors
Connectors are shipped ready for assembly to a user-supplied cable. Remove
10 mm of insulation from the end of the cable and strip 2 mm of insulation off
of each wire.
Insert the cable through the shell, strain relief, bushing, spring, and locking col-
lar. Solder each wire to a cup. Align the components and slide them together.
Tighten the shell snugly over the contact assembly.
Notes and precautions
lInstall a user-supplied MicroSD card inside of the data logger (FAT16,
FAT32, and exFAT formats).
lRead the manual before connecting to a power supply.
lDo not apply power to a device that has visible damage.
lDO NOT TWIST the cable during installation or removal. Doing so will dam-
age the pins. To remove the cable, grasp the collar and pull it away from
the connector.
