BlackGlobe Temperature Sensor for Heat Stress

7.4 Long Lead Lengths

If the BlackGlobe has lead lengths greater than 300 feet, a longer settling time
before the measurement is made is required. For CRBasic loggers, the 60 and
50 Hz integration options include a 3 ms settling time; longer settling times
also can be entered into the Settling Time parameter. In Edlog, use the DC
Half Bridge Instruction (Instruction 4)
with a 2 ms delay to measure the
temperature.

Do not use the BlackGlobe with long lead lengths in an
electrically noisy environment.

CAUTION

8. Maintenance

The BlackGlobe requires minimal maintenance. Check monthly to ensure the
sphere is free from dirt and debris. Clean with water and soft cloth if
necessary. Do not use solvents as they may dissolve the paint.
