    CS547 Conductivity and Temperature Probe and A547 Interface 1. Overview The CS547 conductivity and temperature probe, and A547 interface are designed for measuring the electrical conductivity, dissolved solids, and temperature of fresh water with Campbell Scientific dataloggers. They require the use of AC excitation, so they can be used with the CR10(X), 21X, and CR7 dataloggers but not with the BDR301 or BDR320.

    (USGS Water-Supply Paper 1473, p. 102). 6.3 Factory Calibration The CS547 is shipped with a cell constant calibrated in a 0.01 molal KCl solution at 25.0°C ±0.05°C. The solution has a EC of 1.408 mS cm 6.4 Field Calibration The cell constant is a dimensional number expressed in units of cm .
  • Page 15 CS547 Conductivity and Temperature Probe and A547 Interface Connect the CS547 and A547 or probe and interface to the datalogger using the wiring described in Section 4. Enter the following program into the datalogger. The calibration solution temperature must be between 1°C and 35°C; the polynomial in step 11 (P58) corrects for temperature errors within this range.

  • Page 18: Temperature Measurement Error

    CS547 Conductivity and Temperature Probe and A547 Interface 8.2 Temperature Measurement Error The overall probe accuracy is a combination of the thermistor's interchangeability specification, the precision of the bridge resistors, and the polynomial error. In a "worst case" all errors add to an accuracy of ±0.4°C over the range of -24° to 48°C and ±0.9°C over the range of -38°C to 53°C.
