of a Ponderosa pine dowel with a bored hole and a Model 107 Temperature
Probe inserted into the dowel. The CS205 mounts on the mounting stake with
the CS506.
4.6.2 Wiring
The CS516-LQ has one connector that attaches to the RAWS connector labeled
FM/FT. The FM/FT connector is color coded brown. This sensor is internally
wired from the RAWS connector panel to the CR1000.

4.6.3 Troubleshooting
If a problem is suspected, check the sensor cable. Disconnect the connector
and look for damaged pins. Verify the CS506 sensor element is securely
fastened. Try connecting a substitute sensor. Obtain an RMA number before
returning the CS516-LQ sensor to Campbell Scientific for repair.
Consult the CS506-L, CS205 and 107-L manuals for more
information.

5.1 Solar Panels
5.1.1 General Description
The solar panel is a photovoltaic power source used for charging lead acid
batteries. The SP20-LQ 20 watt solar panel is used for system configurations
that have higher-than-average power requirements. It is also recommended for
use at higher elevations and latitudes. The solar panel should be mounted
facing the equator.
The SP10-LQ 10 watt solar panel is recommended for a RAWS where NO
communication equipment is used. The SP20-LQ 20 watt solar panel is
recommended for a RAWS where communication equipment is used (for
example, GOES, voice, cell phone, or radio).
