5.6.2 Wiring
The CR1000 is mounted inside the RAWS environmental enclosure and
fastened to the CR1000 printed circuit board wiring panel; connect 12 V power
to the CR1000 printed circuit board wiring panel green power connector. The
CH100’s ON-OFF switch applies power to the 12 V terminals.
5.6.3 Troubleshooting
If a problem is suspected, the CR1000 may be checked by connecting the
CR1000KD to the CR1000 printed circuit board 9-Pin “CSI/O” connector
using our 9-pin serial cable (pn 10873). The CR1000KD display should be
visible. If the display is not visible, check the CR1000 printed circuit board for
12 volt power. If the CR1000 is unresponsive to CR1000KD key strokes, there
might be a problem with the CR1000 datalogger. If problems persist, try a
substitute. Contact a Campbell Scientific applications engineer for assistance.
Obtain an RMA number before returning this equipment to Campbell Scientific
for repair.
Consult the CR1000 manual for more information. NOTE
6. Desiccant
A humidity indicator card and desiccant packs are provided with the weather
station. Place the humidity indicator card and 2 ea. desiccant packs inside the
enclosure. Desiccant packets inside the enclosure should be replaced with
fresh packets when the upper dot on the indicator begins to turn pink. The
indicator tab does not need to be replaced unless the colored circles overrun. A
humidity indicator card (pn 28878) and desiccant pack (pn 4905) may be
ordered through Campbell Scientific. Desiccant packs inside of the datalogger
do not require replacement under normal conditions.
7. Sensor and Equipment Maintenance
Proper maintenance of weather station components is essential to obtain
accurate data. Equipment must be in good operating condition, which requires
a program of regular inspection and maintenance. Routine and simple
maintenance can be accomplished by the person in charge of the weather
station. More difficult maintenance, such as sensor calibration, sensor
