Model 109SS Temperature Probe
3. Installation and Wiring
3.1 Burial
The 109SS is suitable for shallow burial only. It should be placed horizontally
at the desired depth to avoid thermal conduction from the surface to the
thermistor. Placement of the cable inside a rugged conduit may be advisable
for long cable runs, especially in locations subject to digging, mowing, traffic,
use of power tools, or lightning strikes.
3.2 Submersion
The 109SS can be submerged to 150 ft (63 psi). Please note that the 109SS is
not weighted. Therefore, the installer should either add a weighting system or
secure the probe to a fixed or submerged object such as a piling.
4. Wiring
Connections to Campbell Scientific dataloggers are given in Table 4-1.
Temperature is measured with one single-ended input channel and a Voltage
Excitation channel. Multiple probes can be connected to the same excitation
channel (the number of probes per excitation channel is physically limited by
the number of lead wires that can be inserted into a single voltage excitation
terminal, approximately six).

5. Programming
This section is for users who write their own datalogger
programs. A datalogger program to measure this sensor can be
generated using Campbell Scientific’s Short Cut Program
Builder software. You do not need to read this section to use
Short Cut.
