FAQs

Setting up an M12 cable network to ensure a waterproof and secure connection.

Question

What is the best practice for setting up a M12 cable network to ensure a waterproof and secure connection..

Answer

It applies to:
GP2 for SDI-12 and logger networks.
Celora for SDI-12 networks.
All sensors with M12 connector cables.

Examples of SDI-12 network and GP2 logger networks:

DO
When connecting multiple cables and T-piece together, it is essential that any M12 connector is tightened sufficiently:
• Ensure internal connector O-ring and opposite sealing face are free from dirt.
• Tighten the connector thumbscrews as much as you can by hand or use a torque driver set to 1Nm to be sure. See video:

We recommend the Weidmuller “1900021000” torque driver:

• This will save lots of painstaking troubleshooting hours if you do have a loose connection and give you piece of mind that all connectors are correctly tightened.
• Untightened connectors can come undone and let water into the cable network which can damage wire cores and cause erroneous readings.

Connect in the office first and then transfer the network to the field. This way, you’re not trying to do it in unpleasant weather and the time pressures are off.
DON’T
Use duct tape. This will hold water against the connector. If tightened correctly, the connector will seal and hold.
