Wiring and Connectors
Connect meters & sensors to your Wildeye using a range of attachment accessories as shown in the diagram below.
Power for rechargeable (-R) Wildeye datalogers is via an M8 connector
All input connections to a Wildeye datalogger are via M12 connectors
See pin-out details here: Wildeye Pinout and Dimensions
See important info for installing Field-Connect M12 & M8 connectors
Most meters & sensors available from Wildeye have over-molded M12 connectors pre-attached. If you are connecting to your own meter or sensor, choose between adding an M12 Field Connect connector to the sensor cable, or using M12 Bare Wire accessories to attach your meter/sensor to the Wildeye cable.
Most Standard Wildeye Models have interface cables that contain multiple channels. Use splitter accessories to physically connect multiple meters/sensors to a single Wildeye cable.
If extra cable length is required, choose from a range of off-the-shelf waterproof cable extension options.
If additional channels are required, add an expander module to any Wildeye cable containing an "S" channel.
