14.7 USE

through

lA
digital output
port
is normally
used to operpte
an external
relay driver circuit
because
the
port
itself
has
a limited
drive
capability
(1.SmA
at 3.5V). Figure
14.7-'l shows
a typical
rela!
driver circuit in conjunction
with
a
coildriven
rdlay which
may
be used
to switch
external
power
to some device.
In this
example,
when the
controlport is set
high, 12V
from
the datAlogger
passes
through
the
relay
coil, closing
the
relay which completes
the
power
circuit
to a
fan, turning the
fan on.

14.8 GROUNDING
14.8.1
PROTECTION FROM
LIGHTNING
Primary
lightning
strikes
are those
where
lightning
hits the
datalogger
or sensors
directly.
Secondary
strikes
occur
when the
lightning
strikes
somewhere near the system
and
induces a
voltage in the wires.
The
purpose
of
an earth
ground
is to minimize
damage to
the
system
by
providing
a
low resistance
path
around
the system to a
point
of low
potential.
ANY
DATALOGGER IN A
FIELD
INSTALLATION MUST
BE EARTH
GROUNDED.
Allcomponents of
the system
(datalogger,
sensors, external
power
supplies,
mounts, housings, etc.) should
be
referenced to
one
common eadh
ground.
Alf input and output terminals
on the
21X are
transient
protected
with
spark
gaps.
The 21X
must have a
good
earth
ground
for
the
transient
protection
to
work.
The spark
gaps
consist of
a thin air
gap
between
the conductor and a
heavy copper
bar
tied to
ground.
Depending
on the conductivity
of the air,
current will be diverted
to
ground
at
roughly
400
to 600V.
A modem/phone line connected
to
the 21X
provides
another
path
for transients to
enter and
