Section 17. Care and Maintenance

Temperature and humidity can affect the performance of the CR200(X). The

internal lithium battery must be replaced periodically. Factory replacement is

recommended. Contact Campbell Scientific to obtain an RMA prior to shipping

the CR200(X).

17.1 Temperature Range

The CR200(X) is designed to operate reliably from -40ºC to +50°C in non-

condensing environments.

17.2 Moisture Protection

When humidity tolerances are exceeded and condensation occurs, damage to IC

chips, microprocessor failure, and/or measurement inaccuracies due to

condensation on the various PC board runners may result. Effective humidity

control is the responsibility of the user.

Adequate desiccant should be placed in the instrumentation enclosure to prevent

corrosion on the CR200(X) wiring panel. The desiccant needs to be replaced or

dried out frequently enough to control the humidity.

17.3 Enclosures

Campbell Scientific offers environmental enclosures for housing a CR200(X)

and peripherals. These enclosures are classified as NEMA 4X (watertight, dust-

tight, corrosion-resistant, indoor and outdoor use).
