110PV Surface Temperature Probe
3.2 Mounting to a PV Module or Other Device
For mounting the probe to the back of a PV module or another device, the
110PV comes with an adhesive mounting disc adhered to its flat surface. To
mount the 110PV, remove the paper from the mounting disc and adhere it to
the back of the PV module or other device; refer to Section 3.1 for proper
placement on a PV module. The mounting disc must be adhered to a clean
surface for its adhesive to function properly.
If the temperature is expected to exceed 70°C, use Kapton tape, epoxy, or other
means to secure the probe to the measurement surface (see Figure 3-3); a roll
of Kapton tape (P/N 27015) is offered by Campbell Scientific as a Common
Accessory.

3.3 Cable Strain Relief
The 110PV’s cable must be properly strain relieved after mounting the probe to
the measurement surface. To accomplish this, the probe comes with cable ties
and a cable tie mount. A yellow label on the 110PV’s cable indicates where
you should tie down the cable (see Figures 3-3 and 3-4).
Placement of the cable inside a rugged conduit is advisable for
long cable runs, especially in locations subject to digging,
mowing, traffic, use of power tools, animals, or lightning strikes. NOTE
