    CR10XTCR Thermocouple Reference 1. General The Model CR10XTCR Probe contains a thermistor for measuring temperature and is used as a reference temperature for thermocouples measured with the CR10X. It is installed between the two terminal stripes in the wiring panel. After all the thermocouples are wired, the wiring panel cover is installed to minimize temperature gradients on the terminal strip.

    CR10XTCR Thermocouple Reference FIGURE 1. Error Produced by Polynomial Fit to Published Values 3. Installation and Wiring The wiring diagram for the CR10XTCR is shown in Figure 1. The probe requires a single-ended analog input channel and an excitation channel. After the CR10XTCR and thermocouple are connected to the datalogger, install the wiring panel cover (Figure 2 and 3).

    5. Instruction 11 Details Understanding the details in this section are not necessary for general operation of the CR10XTCR with Campbell Scientific's dataloggers. Instruction 11 outputs a precise 2 VAC excitation and measures the voltage drop due to the sensor resistance (Figure 5). The thermistor resistance changes with temperature.

Electrically Noisy Environments AC power lines can be the source of electrical noise. If the datalogger is in an electronically noisy environment, the CR10XTCR temperature measurement should be measured with the AC half bridge (Instruction 5) with the 60 Hz rejection integration option on the CR10X (see Section 13 of the datalogger manual for more information on noise).
