This article provides the maximum supported cable lengths for SAAV500 operating at 8.3V.


Because ShapeArray power requirements vary by construction, the applicable cable length limits depend on the serial number. Please refer to the section corresponding to your ShapeArray serial number range.


NOTE:  Use an approved splice kit to add any cable to an existing SAAV, and ensure you account for the cable that is already attached. SAAVs connected to DTSAA loggers must be configured to run in low power mode.
RST Surge unit adds 1.6 ohm per conductor equivalent to 29m of 22AWG, 70m of 18AWG, 181m of 14AWG, reduce table cable length when using an RST surge unit.


WARNING: 14 AWG cable (SKUCAB14) will not directly fit into the cable glands and connectors DTSAA loggers. To accommodate 14 AWG cable, a special adapter must be used at the end of the ShapeArray cabling. This adapter should be specified at the time of purchase to ensure compatibility with these loggers.
