CR1000, CR10(X), CR23X, and CR510 datalogger and describes programming a datalogger to read this probe. The standard output for the OBS-3 is 0 to 5 V, which may be used with the CR23X and CR1000. If response over 1000 FTU is needed for use with the CR10(X) or CR510 datalogger, order the probe with the optional 0 to 2500 mV output range.
