Page 9: Introduction
CS106 Barometric Pressure Sensor Introduction The CS106 measures barometric pressure for the range of 500 to 1100 mb. This range equates to from below sea level (as in a mine) to over 15,000 feet above sea level. Designed for use in environmental applications, the CS106 is compatible with all Campbell Scientific dataloggers. -
Page 10: Step 2 - Use Scwin Short Cut To Program Datalogger And Generate Wiring Diagram
Step 2 — Use SCWin Short Cut to Program Datalogger and Generate Wiring Diagram The simplest method for programming the datalogger to measure the CS106 is to use Campbell Scientific's SCWin Short Cut Program Generator. 1. Open Short Cut and click on New Program. - Page 11 User Manual 3. Select CS106 Barometric Pressure Sensor then click the right arrow in the middle of the page to add the sensor to the list of sensors to be measured. 4. Define the name of the public variables. Variable defaults to BP_mmHg that holds the barometric pressure measurements.
- Page 12 5. Choose the outputs for the barometric pressure and then select finish. 6. Remove the yellow warning label from the pigtails and wire according to the wiring diagram generated by SCWin Short Cut. WARNING Improper wiring may damage the CS106 beyond repair.

Page 13: Overview
(ABS/PC blend) fitted with an intake valve for pressure equalization. The CS106 outputs a linear 0 to 2.5 VDC signal that corresponds to 500 to 1100 mb. It can be operated in a shutdown or normal mode (see Section 7.1, Jumper Settings). -
Page 14: Accuracy
ABS/PC blend Supply Voltage: 10 to 30 Vdc Supply Voltage Control: When the internal jumper is closed, the CS106 is on continually. When the jumper is open, the CS106 can be turned on/off with 5 Vdc/ 0 Vdc. Supply Voltage Sensitivity: negligible <4 mA (active);... -
Page 15: Installation
CS106 on and off with a control port or excitation channel; to use the excitation channel the datalogger must be able to provide an excitation voltage of 5 VDC. When the jumper is installed the CS106 is in normal mode and powered continuously. -
Page 16: Enclosure Considerations
Campbell Scientific also offers the ENC100 for situations where it is desirable to house the CS106 in its own enclosure (see Figure 7-2). The ENC100 is a 6.7-in. x 5.5-in. x 3.7-in. enclosure that includes a compression fitting for cable entry, a vent for equalization with the atmosphere, a backplate for mounting the CS106, and hardware for mounting the ENC100 to a tripod, tower, or pole. -

Page 18: 5-Pin Screw Terminal Plug Connector
This connector is removable and may be replaced. The replacement connector may come with a connector key attached to it to ensure that the connector is plugged into the CS106 right side up (see Figure 7-4). When the connector is right side up, it will easily plug into the barometer. -
Page 19: Programming
CR3000, and CR9000(X) are programmed similarly. In the example, the CR1000 measures the CS106 once an hour. To do this, the CR1000 uses a control port to turn on the CS106 one minute before the top of the hour. On the hour, the datalogger measures the CS106, and then turns the CS106 off. -

CR200(X), CR800, CR850, CR3000, and CR9000(X) are programmed similarly. In the example, the CR1000 measures the CS106 once an hour in a program that runs at 1 Hz. In order to keep the CR1000 running in a pipeline mode, the measurement instruction is placed outside the “If”... -
Page 21: Edlog Example: Cr10X Program
CR510, CR23X, 21X, and CR7, are programmed similarly. In the example, the CR10X turns on the CS106 one minute before the top of the hour using a control port. On the hour the datalogger measures the CS106, and then it turns the CS106 off. -

1 CS106 1 1 1 7.4.3 Long Lead Lengths There is a 0.06 mV/foot voltage drop in the CS106 signal leads. This voltage drop, in long lead lengths, will raise the barometric reading by approximately 1.44 mb per 100 feet. -

Vaisala recommends recalibration every two years under normal use. In areas where a lot of contaminants are present, recalibration every year is recommended. Contact Campbell Scientific for an RMA number before returning the sensor for recalibration. Should you lose the five terminal connector (p/n #16004), the replacement part can be purchased from Campbell Scientific. - Page 24 CAMPBELL SCIENTIFIC COMPANIES Campbell Scientific, Inc.
