Introduction to Indigo300 transmitter
This document is a quick guide for taking Vaisala Indigo300 Transmitter into use.
For the complete user instructions, see Indigo300 User Guide (M212849EN).

Figure 1 Indigo300 connections overview
Vaisala Indigo300 Transmitter is a host device for displaying measurement values from Vaisala
Indigo-compatible probes and/or transmitting them to automation systems through analog
signals.
Probes can be connected to the transmitter tool-free using the locking wheel. You can connect
a probe to the locking wheel directly or by using a cable. Instead of the locking wheel, it is also
possible to use a cable gland with a fixed cable.
The service port on the front can be opened with a 4-mm Allen key for enabling access to the
free Vaisala Insight PC software or Indigo80 handheld indicator.
With Insight and Indigo80, you can configure both the transmitter and the probe connected to
it, as well as calibrate and adjust the probe without having to detach it from the transmitter.
