ISP11
OrderableInline Surge Protection Device for Data Logger Protection on Digital Sensor Lines with Five-Pin Plug-to-Socket Shielded M12 Connections
Overview
The ISP11 is a surge protection device for Modbus RTU communications and power lines at the meteorological (met) station side. The device is intended to connect to the main met side of the cables, providing a greater level of protection for the data logger.
The ISP11 uses components and a layout that are identical to the ISP10, providing protection that meets the IEC 61000-4-5, level 4 (4 kV, 2000 A) surge protection standard. The five-pin M12 connectors are configured to match the SunSentry system's trunk-line cable pinout, which is compatible with the RS485CBL Five-Conductor Cable with M12 Five-Pin A-Coded Connector. The cable shield is passed through the M12 connector to facilitate shield grounding at the main met station.
Technical Description
The ISP11 uses a standard A-coded, five-pin M12 connector with shield termination to ground via the mounting hole. This device connects to the main met station and mates with any of the RS485CBL cables.
A hole in the middle of the ISP11 is used for grounding and mounting with the included #10 screw. For proper surge protection, mount the ISP11 to an earth-grounded, conductive part.
The ISP11 is shipped with the following items:
- #17 high-speed steel drill bit for pilot hole required for the self-tapping screw
- Self-tapping screw (#10-32 x 1 410SS hex washer head thread cutting screw)
- 5 cc packet protective oxide-inhibitor grease

Common Accessories
(2)43656
Protective M12 Socket Connector Cap
The 43656 is a protective cap to cover an unused M12 socket connector. It is commonly used to protect the unused output side of the SunSentry system's daisy-chain trunk-line tee.
OrderableRS485CBL
Five-Conductor Cable with M12 Five-Pin A-Coded Connector
The RS485CBL cable uses a five-conductor shielded cable with an M12 five-pin A-coded connector. The cable has a UV-resistant, polyurethane jacket. The RS485CBL has been custom designed for sensors that use the RS-485 Modbus protocol with integrated power and signal lines. The signal lines have twisted pairs with 24-gauge conductors, and the power lines have a heavier 20-gauge wire, making the cable uniquely suitable for sensors with a higher current draw that have either short or long runs. An aluminum Mylar shield is grounded via a drain wire and connected to the M12 nut.

Other Accessories
(5)44338
RS485CBL Adapter for SunSentry Used with Digital EKO Pyranometer
The 44338 adapter enables a single trunk-line cable to connect an array-mounted digital EKO pyranometer to the SunSentry Solar Operational Meteorological Monitoring Station. The adapter remaps the pin assignments between the two interfaces so the pyranometer is fully compatible with the RS485CBL 24 AWG RS-485 Cable with M12 Five-Pin Connector in a daisy chain with other sensors. The 44338 routes the cable shield through the connector's coupling nut, improving surge protection and reducing signal noise for more reliable operation.
Orderable44339
RS485CBL Adapter for SunSentry Used with Atonometrics Sensor (RC22 PV Reference Cell)
The 44339 adapter enables you to integrate an Atonometrics sensor—such as the RC22 PV Reference Cell—into a daisy-chain configuration on a SunSentry Solar Operational Meteorological Monitoring Station. The adapter allows the sensor to connect to the SunSentry system using a single trunk-line cable by remapping the pin assignments to match the RS485CBL 24 AWG RS-485 Cable with M12 Five-Pin Connector. The 44339 also routes the cable shield through the connector's coupling nut, improving surge protection and reducing signal noise for more reliable operation.
Orderable44340
RS485CBL Adapter for SunSentry Used with CS241DM G2 Temperature Sensor
The 44340 adapter allows a CS241DM G2 temperature sensor to be a direct replacement for the CS241DM temperature sensor. The pin assignments changed in the CS241DM G2 version, so the 44340 adapter converts the new pin assignment to the older version pin assignment, enabling the CS241DM G2 to use the same cable as the CS241DM.
Orderable44489
RS485CBL Adapter for SMP10 or SMP12 Used with RS485CBL, ISP10, or SunSentry
The 44489 adapter enables you to integrate a Kipp and Zonen sensor—such as the SMP10 Radiation Sensor with Digital RS-485 Output or SMP12—into a daisy-chain configuration on a SunSentry Solar Operational Meteorological Monitoring Station. The adapter allows the sensor to connect to the SunSentry system using a single trunk-line cable by remapping the pin assignments to match the RS485CBL 24 AWG RS-485 Cable with M12 Five-Pin Connector. The 44489 also routes the cable shield through the connector’s coupling nut, improving surge protection and reducing signal noise for more reliable operation.
