Programming Steps.
8. If LoggerNet, PC400, RTDAQ, or PC200W is running on your PC, and the
PC to datalogger connection is active, you can click
Finish in Short Cut
and you will be prompted to send the program just created to the
datalogger.
9. If the sensor is connected to the datalogger, as shown in the wiring
diagram in step 6, check the output of the sensor in the datalogger support
software data display to make sure it is making reasonable measurements.
Improper wiring may damage the CS106 beyond repair.
5. Overview
The CS106 uses Vaisala’s Barocap® silicon capacitive pressure sensor, which
has been designed for accurate and stable measurement of barometric pressure.
This barometer is encased in a plastic shell (ABS/PC blend) fitted with an
intake valve for pressure equalization.
The CS106 outputs a linear 0 to 2.5 Vdc signal that corresponds to 500 to 1100
mb. It can be operated in a shutdown or normal mode (see Section 7.1, Jumper
Settings). In the shutdown mode, the datalogger switches 12 Vdc power to the
barometer during the measurement. The datalogger then powers down the
barometer between measurements to conserve power.
If the CS106 and datalogger will be housed in different enclosures, the
CABLE5CBL-L should be used instead of the cable that is shipped with the
CS106. The CABLE5CBL-L can terminate in:
•
Pigtails that connect directly to a Campbell Scientific datalogger
(option –PT)
•
Connector that attaches to a prewired enclosure (option –PW). Refer
to
for more information.
