This article provides the maximum supported cable lengths for SAAV500 operating at 16.5V when connected through a Measurand SAA232 or SAA232-5 interface.


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.


WARNING: SAAV connected to Campbell Scientific data loggers must be configured to run on Regular Power mode only.Use an approved splice kit to add any cable to an existing SAAV, and ensure you account for the cable that is already attached.


 ShapeArrays with Serial Numbers Greater than 700,000


For ShapeArrays with serial numbers greater than 700,000,the maximum cable lengths at 16.5 V via a Measurand SAA232 or SAA232-5 interface are provided in the table below.
