Ordering Information
Thermocouple
CS220-L
Type E Surface Mount Fast Response Thermocouple. Enter the
cable length, in feet, after the –L. The recommended cable
length is 50 ft (CS220-L50). Specify a cable length of zero
feet (CS220-L0) to get a replacement sensor that includes the
stainless-steel overbraided cable, but not the thermocouple
extension cable.
Common Accessory
27015
Roll of Kapton tape for locations where the temperature
may exceed 70°C.

or 0.4% (0° to 900°C)
Maximum Temperature of Adhesive: adheres for up to 260°C
Accuracy:
Refer to the “Thermocouple Measurement” section in
your datalogger manual
Length of Stainless-Steel Braided Cable: 1.0 m (3.3 ft)
Thermocouple Length: 2.54 cm (1.00 in)
Thermocouple Width: 1.91 cm (0.75 in)
Weight with 50-ft cable: 238 g (8.4 oz)
Installation
The CS220 usually adheres in the center of the back panel of a so-
lar module. Once the mounting location is determined, clean the
back panel surface. Use extreme caution removing the masking
paper from the measurement end of the thermocouple; damage
can occur if masking paper is not removed carefully. Once mask-
ing paper is removed, firmly press thermocouple to the panel.
Adhere the cable strain relief 2 to 3 in. from the end. Connect the
mini connector on the stainless-steel overbraided cable to the
mini connector on the thermocouple extension cable. Wire the
pigtails of the thermocouple extension cable to the datalogger,
as determined by the datalogger program/wiring table.

Thermocouple Extension Cable
The CS220 is shipped with a stainless-steel overbraided cable and a
thermocouple extension cable. The pigtails of the extension cable
connect to the datalogger (see Wiring Table).
The mini connectors of the thermocouple extension and overbraided
cables attach to each other (shown above). Adhesive under the
masking paper secures the sensor to a solar panel.
