CS106 Barometric Pressure Sensor
1. 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. .
This manual provides information only for CRBasic dataloggers.
It is also compatible with many of our retired Edlog dataloggers.
For Edlog datalogger support, see an older manual at
www.campbellsci.com/old-manuals
or contact a Campbell
Scientific application engineer for assistance.
