This will vary depending on the multiplexer configuration and the number of sensors measured. The model name 109B will be used in this manual to refer to both 109B and 109BAM probes, unless otherwise specified. The -L option on the model 109B-L Temperature Probe indicates that the cable length is user specified.

3. Installation 3.1 Soil Temperature The 109B is suitable for burial. Whenever possible it should be placed horizontally at the desired depth to avoid thermal conduction from the surface to the thermistor. The recommended maximum burial depth is equivalent to 86...
3.2 Water Temperature The 109B can be submerged to 200 feet. Please note that the 109B is not weighted. Therefore, the installer should either add a weighting system or secure the probe to a fixed or submerged object.

Fahrenheit, use a multiplier of 1.8 and an offset of 32. See Section 5.1.1 for example programs. The CR5000 and CR9000(X) use the BrHalf instruction to read the 109B’s resistance. The Steinhart-Hart equation is entered as an expression to convert the resistance to degrees Celsius.

AC power lines, pumps, and motors, can be the source of electrical noise. If the 109B probe or datalogger is located in an electrically noisy environment, the 109B probe should be measured with the 60 or 50 Hz rejection option as shown in the Examples in Section 5.4.
6. Measurement Details Understanding the details in this section are not necessary for general operation of the 109B Probe with CSI's dataloggers. The Therm109 Instruction outputs a 2500 mV excitation and measures the voltage across the 24.9 K resistor (Figure 6-1). The thermistor resistance changes with temperature.
B = 2.341077x10 C = 8.775468x10 7. Maintenance and Calibration The 109B Probe requires minimal maintenance. Periodically check cabling for signs of damage and possible moisture intrusion. For all factory repairs and recalibrations, customers must get a returned material authorization (RMA).

Model 109B & 109 BAM Temperature Probe Symptom: Unstable Temperature Try using the 60 or 50 Hz integration options, and/or increasing the settling time as described in Sections 5.3 and 5.4. Make sure the clear shield wire is connected to datalogger ground, and the datalogger is properly grounded.
