Campbell Scientific 108-L Temperature Probe - Manual (Page 7)

Model 108 Temperature Probe
1. Introduction
The 108 temperature probe uses a thermistor to measure temperature in air,
soil, and water. It is compatible with all current dataloggers except the
CR200(X) series and CR9000(X).
2. Cautionary Statements
Santoprene ® rubber, which composes the black outer jacket of the 108 cable,
will support combustion in air. It is used because of its resistance to
temperature extremes, moisture, and UV degradation. It is rated as slow
burning when tested according to U.L. 94 H.B. and passes FMVSS302.
However, local fire codes may preclude its use inside buildings.
3. Initial Inspection
• Check the packaging and contents of the shipment. If damage occurred
during transport, immediately file a claim with the carrier. Contact
Campbell Scientific to facilitate repair or replacement.
• Check model information against the shipping documents to ensure the
expected products and the correct lengths of cable are received. Model
numbers are found on each product. On cables and cabled items, the
model number is usually found at the connection end of the cable. Report
any shortages immediately to Campbell Scientific.
