This article provides the maximum supported cable lengths for SAAX1000 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: SAAX 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 SAAX, and ensure you account for the cable that is already attached.
