2. Product overview

2.1 Introduction to Indigo300 transmitter

16.03.2022

Figure 1 Indigo300 connections overview

Vaisala Indigo300 Transmitter is a host device for displaying measurement values from Vaisala

Indigo-compatible probes and/or transmitting them to automation systems through analog

signals.

Probes can be connected to the transmitter tool-free using the locking wheel. You can connect

a probe to the locking wheel directly or by using a cable. Instead of the locking wheel, it is also

possible to use a cable gland with a ﬁxed cable.

The service port on the front can be opened with a 4-mm Allen key for enabling access to the

free Vaisala Insight PC software or Indigo80 handheld indicator.

With Insight and Indigo80, you can conﬁgure both the transmitter and the probe connected to

it, as well as calibrate and adjust the probe without having to detach it from the transmitter.

2.1.1 Indigo300 basic features and options

• All Vaisala Indigo-compatible probes can be connected to all Indigo transmitter models

• Numerical and graphical color display for up to 3 parameters

• Support for one Indigo-compatible probe

• Power supply input 15 ... 30 V DC (24 V AC ±10 % 50/60Hz)

• 3 pre-conﬁgured analog outputs (mA or V)

• Service port on the front for connecting to Vaisala Insight PC software or Indigo80

handheld indicator

• 1-m, 3-m, 5-m, and 10-m probe connection cables available as accessories
