Description Q&A

The Strain Relief Box is a rugged enclosure that mounts over the 11-pin terminal block on SRX loggers—and is also fully compatible with SmartReader Plus and legacy SmartReader models. It provides a sealed cable entry system with a built-in cable gland that grips and secures the external wires. By absorbing movement and tension, the strain relief system prevents that stress from reaching the terminal block connections, helping to maintain reliable signal integrity over time.

This accessory is especially useful in environments where wires are subject to repeated handling, vibration, or tension—such as mobile setups, industrial sites, or long-term outdoor deployments.

Key Features:

  • Durable plastic housing for added protection over the terminal block

  • Built-in cable gland relieves strain and seals the cable entry point

  • Offloads mechanical stress from the terminal block connections

  • Compatible with all SRX, SmartReader Plus, and legacy SmartReader loggers using the 11-pin terminal block

  • Ideal for mobile, industrial, and long-term monitoring setups

Installation Tip:
Connect the wires to the terminal block first, ensuring correct polarity and wire slack. Then position the strain relief box over the block and secure it in place. Tighten the cable gland to grip the cable and complete the seal.

Q&A

Q: Under what conditions or circumstances should I consider this add-on?

A: If your data logger will be used in a fixed indoor location with minimal movement, the strain relief box is optional. However, if your setup involves frequent handling, tugging of wires, vibration, outdoor exposure, or long-term monitoring, this accessory is strongly recommended. It protects your wiring connections from fatigue and helps maintain reliable signal integrity over time.

Q: Should I leave some slack in the wires when installing?

A: Yes. Leave a small amount of slack—about 1–2 cm (½–¾ inch)—between the terminal block connections and the cable gland. This prevents the conductors from being pulled tight and allows the strain relief box to properly absorb movement or vibration.
