  • Page 7: General Description

    Because the complete dowel surface is accessible for moisture exchange, the response of the CS506 is similar to that of the traditional weighing racks. To optimize probe-to-probe repeatability and to allow probe interchangeability without individual calibration, two additional sorts are performed on the dowels before they are selected to be used as a sensor.

    3. Installation As shown in Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2, both the CS506 and CS205 install on the 26817 mounting stake. The probes install horizontally and should point south in the northern hemisphere and north in the southern. The rack is mounted above a representative forest-floor duff layer.

    One cable tie passes through the two slots where the fuel moisture stick attaches to the CS506 sensor in order to loosely secure the cable of the CS205/107. The other two cable ties are used to secure both cables to the mounting stake.

    4. Wiring Connections to Campbell Scientific dataloggers are given in Table 4-1. When Short Cut for Windows software is used to create the datalogger program, the sensor should be wired to the channels shown on the wiring diagram created by Short Cut.

  • Page 11: Datalogger Programming

    Scientific’s Short Cut Program Builder software. You do not need to read this section to use Short Cut. The CS506 has a built in enable circuit. When voltage on the enable lead is less than 1 VDC, the sensor is off. When a voltage greater than 4 VDC, commonly 5 VDC, is applied to the enable lead, the sensor is on.
