Hi,

I have no experience with Talis Apollo datalogger but I have studied configuration manual and it seems that there is no option to power sensor with required 5V. Only options are 0V, 12V or 24V.
Page 22 of the manual. http://www.talis-smart.com/fileadmin/user_upload/APOLLO_Configuration_Manual_11-7-2017.pdf

This would require external power to the sensor (3.1-5V) or use of regulator before the sensor to bring the voltage down to 5V.

Kind regards,
Piotr
