  Product Description:  
 

space

dataTaker data loggers can easily increase channel capacity by simply adding a Channel Expansion Module (CEM20). Each CEM20 connects 20 universal data logging channels to the dataTaker data logger. A dataTaker CEM20 connects to one analog channel of the dataTaker data logger. This effectively expands the total channel capacity of the DT80 from 15 to 300 analog inputs and the DT85 to an incredible 800 inputs.

 
 
 
Easy Setup:

Connecting a channel expansion module to a dataTaker data logger is very easy. The CEM20 is powered directly from the dataTaker data logger 12V output. Analog output connections of the CEM20 connect to a analog channel of the data logger. See sample wiring diagram shown.

Solid construction and design:

The construction of the CEM20 is similar to the rugged dataTaker DT80 range. The case is made from an anodized aluminum extrusion with powder coated steel end plates. Removable screw terminals provide flexible options for installation and maintenance.

Compatibility:
The dataTaker CEM20 is compatible with the following dataTaker data loggers:
dataTaker DT80 Series 2
dataTaker DT80G Series 2
dataTaker DT85 Series 2
dataTaker DT85G Series 2
