    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).

    10 to 30 Vdc Supply Voltage Control: When the internal jumper is closed, the CS106 is on continually. When the jumper is open, the CS106 can be turned on/off with 5 Vdc/ 0 Vdc. Supply Voltage Sensitivity: negligible Current Consumption: <4 mA (active);...

  • Page 14: Installation

    When the jumper is not installed, the CS106 is in shutdown mode and the datalogger turns the CS106 on and off with a control port or excitation channel; to use the excitation channel the datalogger must be able to provide an excitation voltage of 5 Vdc.

    The mounting holes for the sensor are one-inch-centered (three inches apart), and will mount directly onto the holes on the backplate of Campbell Scientific enclosures. Mount the sensor with the pneumatic connector pointing vertically downwards to prevent condensation collecting in the pressure cavity, and also...

  • Page 18: Programming

    CS106 Barometric Pressure Sensor Programming Short Cut is the best source for up-to-date datalogger programming code. Programming code is needed, when creating a program for a new datalogger installation • when adding sensors to an existing datalogger program • If your data acquisition requirements are simple, you can probably create and maintain a datalogger program exclusively with Short Cut.

  • Page 19: Operations

    CS106 Barometric Pressure Sensor Operations Multiplier and Offset Calculation The multiplier and offset in the VoltSE() CRBasic instruction convert millivolts to millibar or hPa. The output from the sensor is 0 to 2.5 V or 0 to 2500 mV and the sensor’s operating range is from 500 to 1100 mbars (hPa).

    (VoltDiff()) to measure the CS106. Output Resolution When storing the values from the CS106 to a data table, care must be taken to choose suitable scaling of the reading, or to store the value with adequate resolution to avoid losing useful resolution of the pressure measurement. The default resolution (low resolution) for Campbell Scientific dataloggers is limited to a maximum of four digits.

    In the example, the CR1000 measures the CS106 once an hour. To do this, the CR1000 uses a control port to turn on the CS106 one minute before the top of the hour. On the hour, the datalogger measures the CS106, and then turns the CS106 off.

    “CS106_temp”. Once the CS106 is turned on one minute before the hour, the CS106 starts to make the correct pressure measurements. At the top of the hour, the correct value is copied into the current variable called “pressure”, and the sensor is turned off immediately.
