Installation If you are programming your datalogger with Short Cut, skip Section 7.2, Wiring, and Section 7.3, Datalogger Programming. Short Cut does this work for you. See Section 4, Quickstart, for a Short Cut tutorial. 7.1 Siting Sensors should be located over an open level area at least 9 m (EPA) in diameter. The surface should be covered by short grass, or where grass does not grow, the natural earth surface. Sensors should be located at a distance of at least four times the height of any nearby obstruction, and at least 30 m (EPA) from large paved areas. Sensors should be protected from thermal radiation, and adequately ventilated.

The probe can be measured by two single-ended or differential analog input channels (recommended for lead lengths > 6.1 m (20 ft.), see Section 7.4). The CR200(X)-series dataloggers only have single-ended channels. 11

Installation
If you are programming your datalogger with
Short Cut
, skip Section 7.2,
Wiring
, and Section 7.3,
Datalogger Programming
.
Short Cut
does this work
for you. See Section 4,
Quickstart
, for a
Short Cut
tutorial.
7.1
Siting
Sensors should be located over an open level area at least 9 m (EPA) in
diameter.
The surface should be covered by short grass, or where grass does
not grow, the natural earth surface.
Sensors should be located at a distance of
at least four times the height of any nearby obstruction, and at least 30 m
(EPA) from large paved areas.
Sensors should be protected from thermal
radiation, and adequately ventilated.
Standard measurement heights:
1.5 m (AASC)
1.25 – 2.0 m (WMO)
2.0 m (EPA)
See Section 10 for a list of references that discuss temperature and relative
humidity sensors.
7.2
Wiring
Connections to Campbell Scientific dataloggers are given in TABLE 7-1
through TABLE 7-3.
The probe can be measured by two single-ended or
differential analog input channels (recommended for lead lengths > 6.1 m (20
ft.), see Section 7.4).
The CR200(X)-series dataloggers only have single-ended
channels.
