    Short Cut is an easy way to program your datalogger to measure the 108 probe and assign datalogger wiring terminals. Short Cut is available as a download on www.campbellsci.com. It is included in installations of LoggerNet, PC200W, PC400, or RTDAQ.
  • Page 11 Model 108 Temperature Probe In the search box under the Available Sensors and Devices heading, type in 108 or find the 108 in the Sensors | Temperature folder. Double-click the 108 Temperature Probe. Data defaults to degree Celsius. This can be changed by clicking the Deg C box and selecting Deg F, for degrees Fahrenheit, or K, for Kelvin.
  • Page 12: Overview

    Overview The 108 is a rugged probe that accurately measures air, soil, or water temperature in a variety of applications. The sensor consists of a thermistor encapsulated in an epoxy-filled aluminum housing. This design allows the probe to be buried or submerged in water to 15 m (50 ft) or 21 psi.

    Model 108 Temperature Probe mount the 108 and limit solar radiation loading. See Section 6, Specifications , for a complete list of compatible dataloggers. (p. 4) Specifications Features Measures air, soil, or water temperature • Compatible with AM16/32-series multiplexers •...
  • Page 14: Wiring To Datalogger

    A complete program example can be found in Appendix B, Example Programs (p. B-1) If the 108 probe is to be used with long cable lengths or in electrically noisy environments, consider employing the measurement programming techniques outlined in Section 8.3, Electrically Noisy Environments , and Section 8.4,...
  • Page 15: 7.2.1 Therm108() Instruction

    7.2.1 Therm108() Instruction The Therm108() measurement instruction programs CRBasic dataloggers to measure the 108 probe. It applies a precise excitation voltage, makes a half- bridge resistance measurement, and converts the result to temperature using the Steinhart-Hart equation. See Section 8.2, Measurement and Output Linearization , for more information.

  • Page 17: Water Temperature Installation

    Secure the cable to the tripod or tower using cable ties. Water Temperature Installation 108 probes can be submerged to 15 m (50 ft) or 21 psi. The 108 is not weighted, so a weighting system should be added, or the probe secured to a submerged object such as a piling.

    Model 108 Temperature Probe FIGURE 8-1, 108 thermistor probe schematic, Therm108() applies 1000 mV excitation at the Vx line and measures the voltage drop across the 1 kΩ resistor at the Vs line. The ratio of measured voltage (Vs) to excitation voltage (Vx) is related to thermistor resistance (Rs), and the 1 kΩ...
  • Page 19: Troubleshooting And Maintenance

    Maintenance The 108 probe requires minimal maintenance. For air temperature measurements, check the radiation shield monthly to make sure it is free from dust and debris. To clean the shield, first remove the sensor. Dismount the shield.
  • Page 20: Calibration

    If needed, an estimate of the interchangeability error for 0 to 50 °C, that can be used as the Offset parameter of the Therm107() instruction, can be determined with a 1-point or 2-point calibration. Calibration of the 108 probe is not necessary unless the accuracy needed in the sensor data requires correction of the thermistor interchangeability offset described in Section 6, Specifications (p.
