ECO Meter Pinouts

ECO sensors use am MCBH-6-MP bulkhead connector. Input power of 7–15 VDC is applied to pin 4. The power supply current returns through the common ground pin. The input power signal has a bi-directional filter, which prevents external power supply noise from entering the ECO. It also prevents internally generated noise from coupling out onto the external power supply.

WARNING!
Single channel ECOs: If you are going to build or use a non-WET Labs-built cable, do NOT use the wire from pin 3 or the meter will be damaged.

ECOs with internal batteries have a second bulkhead connector that comes with a jumper plug (marked with blue rubber coating) to supply power to the unit.
