The LI-COR LI-1000 Datalogger is a 10-channel data acquisition instrument designed for environmental monitoring and research applications. This portable, battery-powered unit operates as both a data logger and multichannel autoranging meter, optimized for LI-COR radiation sensors with current outputs and low-impedance voltage sensors such as thermocouples. It also accepts pulsed output sensors including tipping bucket rain gauges and compatible third-party environmental and industrial sensors.
Technical Specifications
Sensor Inputs
• 10 channels total
• Current input (optimized for LI-COR radiation sensors)
• Single-ended voltage input (low-impedance sensors, thermocouples)
• Pulsed output compatibility (rain gauges, pulse counters)
• Two sealed BNC connectors for current inputs
• Terminal blocks (1000-05 or 1000-06A) supporting six current/voltage channels and two pulse counting channels

• Data logging capability with tab-delimited text file format
• Multichannel autoranging meter functionality
• Command-line terminal programs (e.g., Tera Term) required for data transfer; 9-pin to 25-pin null modem cable or USB-to-serial adapter (LI-COR 6400-27 recommended)
• Legacy communications software (1000-92) available
Power
• Six D-Cell batteries (not included)
• AC power adapter supported (Part Number: 1000-02)
– Key Features
• Portable design with integrated battery operation
• Autoranging meter capability for real-time monitoring
• Multiple connector types for diverse sensor compatibility
• RS-232 interface for legacy system integration
– Typical Applications
• Environmental radiation measurement using LI-COR sensors
• Thermal monitoring via thermocouple arrays
• Precipitation data collection with tipping bucket gauges
• Multi-parameter environmental field research
– Compatibility & Integration
Highly compatible with LI-COR radiation sensors. Supports third-party sensors including low-impedance voltage transducers and pulsed-output devices. Data transfer managed through standard terminal emulation software without dedicated download utility. Accessories include carrying case (1000-07) and 37-pin D connector (1000-12). This is a legacy product no longer supported by the manufacturer.
