    CS100 Barometric Pressure Sensor Introduction The CS100 measures barometric pressure for the range of 600 to 1100 hPa. This range equates to from below sea level (as in a mine) up to 3658 m (12,000 feet) above sea level. Designed for use in environmental applications, the CS100 is compatible with all Campbell Scientific data loggers.

    500 to 1100 hPa and 800 to 1100 hPa. Please contact Campbell Scientific to order these special versions. The CS100 is supplied in the triggered mode that allows the data logger to switch 12 VDC power to the barometer before the measurement. The data logger then powers down the barometer after the measurements to conserve power.

    Wiring 7.3.1 5-pin Screw Terminal Plug Connector The CS100 is shipped with a cable that connects to the CS100 using a 5-pin screw terminal plug connector. The cable is shipped with a connector key attached to the connector to help ensure the connector is correctly plugged into the CS100 (see FIGURE 7-2).

    0.02953 0.0145 0.00099 Torr 0.75006 Long Cable Lengths Long cable lengths cause a voltage drop that will raise the barometric reading. Therefore, for cable lengths greater than 6 m (20 feet), use the differential instruction (VoltDiff()) to measure the CS100.

    The external case can be cleaned with a damp, lint-free cloth and a mild detergent solution. You can purchase a replacement five terminal connector from Campbell Scientific. CAUTION The CS100 is sensitive to static when the backplate is removed. To avoid damage, take adequate anti-static measures when handling.

    Appendix A. Importing Short Cut Code Into CRBasic Editor Short Cut creates a .DEF file that contains wiring information and a program file that can be imported into the CRBasic Editor. By default, these files reside in the C:\campbellsci\SCWin folder. Import Short Cut program file and wiring information into CRBasic Editor: Create the Short Cut program.
  • Page 16: Example Programs

    CR1000X measures the CS100 once an hour. To do this, the CR1000X uses a control terminal to turn on the CS100 one minute before the top of the hour. On the hour, the data logger measures the CS100, and then turns the CS100 off.
  • Page 17: Cr1000X Program Using Pipeline Mode

    The measurement is made every scan, and the measured value is first written into a temporary variable called CS100_temp. One minute before the hour, the CS100 turns on and starts to make the correct pressure measurements. At the top of the hour, the correct value is stored into the pressure variable, and the sensor is turned off immediately.
