CS230 Temperature Profiler
1. Introduction
The CS230 temperature profiler provides temperature measurements both in a
rigid probe assembly and external probes using digital sensor technology. It
uses the SDI-12 communication protocols to communicate with an SDI-12
recorder simplifying installation and programming. The included SGB3
provides electrical surge protection.
Before using the CS230 please study:
• Section 2 , Precautions
(p. 1)
•
Section 7.1 , Wiring
(p. 6)
More details are available in the remaining sections.
2. Precautions
• Although the CS230 is designed to be a rugged and reliable device for
field use, care should be taken when handling or moving it to avoid
damage.
• There are no user-serviceable parts and any attempt to disassemble the
device will void the warranty.
•
The CS230 must be used in conjunction with the SGB3 to protect against
electrical surges.
3. Initial Inspection
• Upon receipt of the CS230, inspect the packaging and contents for
damage. File any damage claims with the shipping company. Immediately
check package contents against the shipping documentation. Contact
Campbell Scientific about any discrepancies.
• The model number and cable length are printed on a label at the
connection end of the cable. Check this information against the shipping
documents to ensure the expected product and cable length are received.
• The CS230 ships with a SGB3 surge protector, a 2-ft cable, 2 pan Phillips
screws, and 2 grommets.
4. Overview
The CS230 temperature profiler makes use of digital sensor technology
allowing for a simple 3-wire integration. The CS230 consists of a rigid probe
assembly and up to 4 optional external temperature probes. The rigid probe
assembly maintains the precise position of the temperature points within the
profile, while protecting the temperature sensors in all mediums.
