satlog Data Logger

Connectivity & Electrical

The Data Logger powers the modem when connected, in a standalone configuration the Data Logger alone uses about 50-100mA, but the majority of the power is powering the modem. See details about the modem's electrical characteristics Modem Electrical.

Several options for powering satlog exist through the Data Logger:

USB

satlog will power on and function by using a USB C cable to either the USB port marked USB Power or USB Data.

NMEA 2000 Connector

Any NMEA 2000 network can power the satlog board and modem using CAN1, remember to terminate the CAN bus network correctly. Max voltage 36 volts, minimum 9 volts.

VE.Can or BMS

The CAN1 port is pin compatible with VE.Can but will itself not power the network. Victron devices like the MultiPlus will provide power that the satlog can use, see details here. Max voltage 36 volts, minimum 9 volts.
