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.

Open Short Cut and click Create New Program. Double-click the data logger model. In the Available Sensors and Devices box, type CS100, or locate the sensor in the Sensors > Meteorological > Barometric Pressure folder. Double-click CS100 Barometric Pressure Sensor. Type the Sea Level Elevation Correction.
Overview The CS100 is a capacitive pressure transducer that uses the Setra’s electrical capacitor technology for barometric pressure measurements. The transducer is encased in a stainless steel and polyester case fitted with an 1/8-inch barbed...
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.
CS100 Barometric Pressure Sensor Specifications Performance Operating Temperature Range: –40 to 60 °C (–40 to 140 °F) Storage Temperature Range: –60 to 120 °C (–76 to 248 °F) Proof Pressure: 1500 hPa Burst Pressure: 2000 hPa Humidity Range: non-condensing (up to 95% RH)
Campbell Scientific also offers the ENC100 for situations where it is desirable to house the CS100 in its own enclosure. The ENC100 is a small enclosure with dimensions of 17.1 x 14.0 x 9.9 cm (6.7 x 5.5 x 3.9 in). It...
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).
(see FIGURE 7-3). The warning label reminds the user of the importance of properly connecting the barometer to the data logger. Proper wiring is shown in Table 7-1. Yellow Warning Label FIGURE 7-3. CS100 and cable with warning label...

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.
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.
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.
