Model 108 Temperature Probe
1. Introduction
The 108 Temperature Probe uses a thermistor to measure temperature in air,
soil, and water. It is compatible with all CRBasic dataloggers except the
CR200(X) and CR9000(X). See Section 6 , Specifications
(p. 4)
, for a list of
compatible CRBasic dataloggers.
For Edlog datalogger support, check the availability of an older manual at
www.campbellsci.com/old-manuals , or contact Campbell Scientific for
assistance.
2. Precautions
READ AND UNDERSTAND the Safety section at the front of this manual.
Santoprene ® rubber, which composes the black outer jacket of the 108 cable,
will support combustion in air. It is used because of its resistance to
temperature extremes, moisture, and UV degradation. It is rated as slow
burning when tested according to U.L. 94 H.B. and passes FMVSS302.
However, local fire codes may preclude its use inside buildings.
3. Initial Inspection
Check the packaging and contents of the shipment. If damage occurred during
transport, immediately file a claim with the carrier. Contact Campbell
Scientific to facilitate repair or replacement.
Check model information against the shipping documents to ensure the
expected products and the correct lengths of cable are received. Model
numbers are found on each product. On cables and cabled items, the model
number is usually found at the connection end of the cable. Report any
shortages immediately to Campbell Scientific.
