8250-01 Extension Manifold
Powered by the LI-8250 Multiplexer, each Extension Manifold allows multiple chambers or flasks to share a single LI-8250 port—extending the maximum number of chambers from 8 to 36.

Redefine field research with a long-term soil gas flux research site that includes dozens of chambers distributed over a 2800 square meter footprint—more than 1/4 of a hectare. Additional data points and increased flexibility in site selection let you ask new research questions and have more confidence in the answers.
An Extension Manifold occupies just one port on your LI-8250 Multiplexer but connects to up to 8 chambers at once. A long-term soil gas flux system with 4 Extension Manifolds enables you to collect data from up to 36 separate chambers in various conditions, including treatments and controls.
Reaching 36 Chambers
The LI-8250 Multiplexer has 8 ports. Each multiplexer port can connect to either a chamber or an 8250-01 Extension Manifold. You can have a maximum of 4 extension manifolds connected to the LI-8250 Multiplexer.
Each extension manifold also has 8 ports that can connect to chambers. Since the extension manifold uses 1 multiplexer port, each extension manifold gains you up to 7 more chambers.
With 4 extension manifolds, you can have 32 chambers on extension manifold ports and another 4 chambers on the remaining multiplexer ports.

Power
- Power Requirements: Input voltage range is supplied by LI-8250 Multiplexer. Typical 24V and 1.8A max. See Table 1 for 8250-01 power requirements.
- Alternate Power Input: 21.9 to 26.5 VDC 80 W
Table 1. Total system power requirements.
| Typical Power Consumption (W) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Instrument | Idle | Sampling/ Moving | Max/ Warm-up |
| 8250-01 | 0.8 | 9.2 | 11.0 |
| 8200-104/C (each) | 0.36 | 4.8 | N/A |
Note: The max listed for the 8250-01 is a typical maximum, there is no additional warm-up power. Chamber power reaches 4.8 W only when opening or closing, not the entire time of sampling.
Flask Sampling Kit (8250-660) Specifications
Power
- Power Requirements: Input voltage is supplied by the LI-8250 Multiplexer or the 8250-01 Extension Manifold. When a Purge Pump is configured to an Extension Manifold, the Extension Manifold must be connected to a power supply, such as the Indoor Power Supply (8250-772), via the Alternate Power Input. See Table 2 for 8250-660 power requirements.
Table 2. 8250-660 power requirements.
| Typical Power Consumption (W) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Instrument | Idle | Sampling/ Moving | Max/ Warm-up |
| 9982-079 Thermistor Input Module (each) | 0.12 | 0.12 | N/A |
| 9982-077 Purge Pump (each) | 5.8 | 5.8 | 7.0 |
| Flask Sampling Kit Total (each) | 5.92 | 5.92 | 7.12 |
Note: The power requirements for the 9982-077 Purge Pump are based on the pump being configured to run in the user interface. If the pump is not configured to run, it will use no power.
