Technical Description
The A151 allows sensors such as pressure transducers to be used without the need to run a ventilation tube all the way to a data logger enclosure. The sensor cable with a ventilation tube terminates at the A151, which contains a small vent and desiccant, while a second cable without a ventilation tube completes the connection to the Aspen 10 or other data logger.
A mounting bracket is attached to the bottom of the chassis. The bracket is used to fasten the A151 inside an enclosure. Alternatively, a zip tie can be used to fasten the A151 to another location of the user’s choosing.

Additional Compatibility Information
Data Loggers
Even though the A151 comes with an eight-pin M12 connector that is compatible with the Aspen 10, you can purchase accessories to terminate the cable end in pig tails for use with other data loggers.
Sensors
The A151 is compatible with most sensors that use eight pins or less. The A151 is often used with pressure transducers. Note: Ensure that any sensor to be used with the Aspen 10 is compatible with the Aspen 10.
Prewired Enclosures
The A151 does not have a -PW cable termination option. A special order product can be made to adapt from the eight-pin M12 connector to the -PW prewired enclosure connector.
