    FIGURE 7-1. Types of PV modules Mounting to a PV Module or Other Device The 110PV includes an adhesive mounting strip adhered to the flat surface of the aluminum disk. To mount the 110PV, remove the paper from the mounting strip and adhere it to the back of the PV module or other device.

  • Page 18: Cable Strain Relief

    The 110PV’s cable must be properly strain relieved after mounting the probe to the measurement surface. To accomplish this, the probe comes with cable ties and a cable tie mount. A yellow label on the 110PV’s cable indicates where the cable should be tied down (see FIGURE and FIGURE 7-3).

  • Page 19: Submersion

    110PV Surface Temperature Probe Submersion The 110PV can be submerged to 15 m (50 ft). It must be adhered to a dry, clean surface before submerging. The probe’s adhesive mounting strip is not intended for submersion. Therefore, the 110PV must be mounted to the measurement surface with a user-supplied method that is compatible with submersion.

    The CR6, CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR3000, CR5000, and CR9000(X) can use either the BrHalf4W() instruction or BrHalf() instruction to measure the 110PV. The BrHalf4W() instruction reduces cable errors, but the BrHalf() instruction requires fewer input channels. A typical BrHalf4W() instruction is: BrHalf4W(Dest,1,mV2500,mV2500,1,Vx1,1,2500,True ,True ,0,250,1.0,0)

    AC power lines, pumps, and motors, can be the source of electrical noise. If the 110PV probe or datalogger is located in an electrically noisy environment, the 110PV probe should be measured with the 60 or 50 Hz rejection option as shown in Appendix B.1.1, Half Bridge CR1000 Program , and Appendix (p.

CAUTION If the 110PV needs to be sent to Campbell Scientific for repairs, remember that the probe must be heated to 70 to 80 °C before removing it from the measurement surface. Prying the probe off without heating it will likely damage both the probe and the PV module.
