Campbell Scientific 092 Barometric Pressure Sensor - Manual (Page 7)

Model 092 Barometric Pressure Sensor
1. Introduction
The Model 092 Barometric Pressure Sensor is designed to measure ambient
atmospheric pressure and is configured at Campbell Scientific for analog
output. It is recommended for wind-farm power-performance research.
2. Cautionary Statements
• Install the sensor such that it faces north in the northern hemisphere, or
south in the southern hemisphere. This orientation will shield the
polycarbonate sensor housing from most direct sunlight.
• The pressure sensor element is light sensitive. Only operate the 092 when
the polycarbonate case is closed.
• Pressure conditions in the range of 10 to 10,000 millibars will not harm the
sensor, but the measurement accuracy is not guaranteed beyond the range
of 600 to 1100 millibars.
3. Initial Inspection
• Upon receipt of the 092, inspect the packaging and contents for damage.
File damage claims with the shipping company, but contact Campbell
Scientific to arrange for repair or replacement.
• The model number and cable length are printed on a label at the
connection end of the cable. Check this information against the shipping
documents to ensure the expected product and cable length are received.
