differential voltage terminals on a data logger. The -L denotes the length of cable in feet, which
can be designated at the time of ordering.
4.2.3.4 Thermocouple cover
The thermocouple (TC) cover is a white, metal thermocouple cover that is placed over the
connectors of the FW05 and the FWC-L cable. It is used to mount the connectors to the side of
the CSAT3BH block. It also minimizes temperature gradients across the connectors.
4.2.3.5 Thermocouple cover backplate
The CSAT3BH fine-wire thermocouple cover backplate attaches to the CSAT3BH block and is
used to cover the back side of the TC cover.
NOTE:
The backplate is required for the CSAT3BH but not for other Campbell Scientific sonic
anemometers. In previous models, the back side of the TC cover is covered by the sensor
block.
4.2.3.6 FW/ENC thermocouple carrying case
The FW/ENC is a small case (
(p. 12)) that is used for storing up to four fine-wire
thermocouples. Due to the fragile nature of the FW05 thermocouple, it should always be stored
in an FW/ENC when not in use. Ordering at least a set of four FW05 thermocouples for every
CSAT3BH is recommended, as the FW05 will break during normal wear and tear in the field.

4.2.4 Other accessories
The other accessories available for the CSAT3BH are used when combining multiple CSAT3BH
units into a network of sensors, the data from which is collected by a single data logger.
Networks of CSAT3BHs using SDM or CPI communications may be configured in one of three
different configurations:
