3. If you wanted to read positive pipe to soil voltages you would connect the banana plug cable from the display unit to the black banana plug terminal on the data logger and you would use two red band data probe cables The standard approach is to read negative pipe to soil voltages Option 2 Automatic Triggering of Readings using the Automatic Trigger Cable The figure shown below illustrates the cabling configuration for this option Page 7 of 9 of M C Miller Co Inc MAN350 11640 U S Highway 1 Sebastian Florida U S A M E MILLER Co Tele 1 772 794 9448 Fax 1 772 589 9072 l Website www mcmiller com email sales mcmiller com Trail Wire 3 pin terminal Chainer Test Station Hip Pack or Back Pack Wire Spool Counter Display N 3 pin Trigger i gg terminal For Normally PISINISI Negative Readings 5 pin erminal To Data Probes DATA LOGGER The supplied trigger cable is connected from the display unit to the 5 pin terminal on the data logger as shown in the above figure The red and the black wires of the trigger cable are connected to the External Beeper connection terminals on the underside of the display unit The red and the black wires connect to the terminals labeled positive and negative respectively Again as in Option 1 the structure pipe can be connected to either the positive or the negative side of the voltmeter b
