About this manual 

Please note that this manual was originally produced by Campbell Scientific Inc. primarily for the 
North American  market. Some spellings, weights and measures may reflect this origin. 

Some useful conversion factors: 

Area:

   1 in

Length:    

1 in. (inch) = 25.4 mm 

                  1 ft (foot) = 304.8 mm 
                  1 yard = 0.914 m 
                  1 mile = 1.609 km 
 
 

Mass:

   

 1 oz. (ounce) = 28.35 g 

 

1 lb (pound weight) = 0.454 kg 

 

Pressure:

 

1 psi (lb/in

) = 68.95 mb 

 

Volume:

 

1 UK pint = 568.3 ml

UK 

gallon 

= 4.546 litres 

 

1 US gallon = 3.785 litres 

 

In addition, while most of the information in the manual is correct for all countries, certain information 
is specific to the North American market and so may not be applicable to European users.  

Differences include the U.S standard external power supply details where some information (for 
example the AC transformer input voltage) will not be applicable for British/European use. 

Please 

note, however, that when a power supply adapter is ordered it will be suitable for use in your country. 

Reference to some radio transmitters, digital cell phones and aerials may also not be applicable 
according to your locality. 

Some brackets, shields and enclosure options, including wiring, are not sold as standard items in the 
European market; in some cases alternatives are offered. Details of the alternatives will be covered in 
separate manuals. 

Part numbers prefixed with a “#” symbol are special order parts for use with non-EU variants or for 
special installations. Please quote the full part number with the # when ordering. 

Recycling information 

At the end of this product’s life it should not be put in commercial or domestic refuse 
but sent for recycling.  Any batteries contained within the product or used during the 
products life should be removed from the product and also be sent to an appropriate 
recycling facility. 

 

Campbell Scientific Ltd can advise on the recycling of the equipment and in some cases 
arrange collection and the correct disposal of it, although charges may apply for some 
items or territories.
