1. Introduction

The CS241DM temperature sensor uses a precision 1000 ohm Class A platinum resistance

thermometer (PRT) to measure temperature. It is designed for measuring the back-of-

photovoltaic (PV) module temperature but also can be used to measure the surface temperature

of other devices. The CS241DM has a digital RS-485 output that can be directly read by a

MeteoPV, CR6, CR1000X, or Modbus RTU RS-485 network. Other Campbell Scientific data

loggers can use an MD485 multidrop interface to read the RS-485 output.

NOTE:

This manual provides information only for CRBasic data loggers.

2. Precautions

lREAD AND UNDERSTAND the Safety section at the back of this manual.

lDo not use epoxy to secure the sensor head to a PV module.

lBefore mounting, the installers need to wash their hands and then clean the back of the PV

module or other device .

lPrying the sensor head off will likely damage both the sensor and PV module.

lProper strain relief of the cable is required after mounting the sensor to the measurement

surface (Mounting/cable strain relief (p. 10)).

lPlacement of the cable inside a rugged conduit is advisable for cable runs over 4.5 m (15 ft),

especially in locations subject to digging, mowing, traffic, power tools, animals, or lightning

strikes.

3. Initial inspection

lUpon receipt of the sensor, inspect the packaging and contents for damage. File damage

claims with the shipping company.

lThe 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 were received.

4. QuickStart

A video that describes data logger programming using Short Cut is available at:

www.campbellsci.com/videos/cr1000x-data logger-getting-started-program-part-3 . Short

Cut is an easy way to program your data logger to measure the sensor and assign data logger

wiring terminals. Short Cut is available as a download on www.campbellsci.com . It is included

in installations of LoggerNet, RTDAQ, or PC400.

The following procedure also shows using Short Cut to program the CS241DM.

1. Open Short Cut and click Create New Program.

2. Double-click the data logger model.

3. In the Available Sensors and Devices box, type CS241DM. You can also locate the sensor in

the Sensors > Temperature folder. Double click CS204DM/CS241DM. Type the RS-485

address; default address is the last two digits of the serial number. The CS241DM must have

a unique RS-485 address. The surface temperature defaults to degree C. This can be

changed by clicking the Temperature box and selecting one of the other options.

4. Click on the Wiring tab to see how the sensor is to be wired to the data logger. Click OK

after wiring the sensor.

5. Repeat steps three and four for other sensors you want to measure. Click Next.

6. In Output Setup, type the scan rate, a meaningful table name, and the Data Output Storage

Interval.

7. Select the measurement and its associated output option.

8. Click Finish and save the program. Send the program just created to the data logger if the

data logger is connected to the computer.

9. If the sensor is connected to the data logger, check the output of the sensor in the data

logger support software data display in LoggerNet, RTDAQ, or PC400 to make sure it is

making reasonable measurements.

5. Overview

The CS241DM is a surface mountable platinum resistive thermometer (PRT) that measures back-

of-module temperature for solar energy applications. It uses a precision PT-1000 Class A PRT to

provide the highest level of accuracy. To withstand the harsh treatment that commonly occurs

with meteorological station installation, the sensing element is safely housed inside a specially

designed self-adhesive aluminum disk (FIGURE 5-1 (p. 5)).

The disk protects the PRT, particularly during installation, and promotes heat transfer from the

surface. An adhesive tab on the disk fastens the sensor to the measurement surface.

The CS241DM includes a Campbell Scientific precision analog-to-digital, smart-sensor module

for making the measurements. The module design is optimized for the Class A PRT that

minimizes self-heating and wire resistance. Measurement electronics are surge protected with

1200 V isolation and environmentally protected with a rugged overmolding.

The CS241DM provides PV stakeholders with highly accurate back-of-module temperature, even

at long cable lengths, in power performance modeling and simulation of solar energy

applications. Back-of-module temperature is critical for any evaluation of effective irradiance and

power conversion.

7. Installation

If you are programming your data logger with Short Cut, skip and Data logger programming (p.

9). Short Cut does this work for you. See QuickStart (p. 2) for a Short Cut tutorial. This section

discusses the following:

7.1 Wiring 8

7.2 Data logger programming 9

7.3 Placement on a photovoltaic (PV) module 10

7.4 Mounting/cable strain relief 10

7.1 Wiring

The DM module is embedded in a short cable that attaches to the sensor head and has a 5-pin,

M12 female circular connector. A standard cable or a 3-twisted-pair shielded cable with a 5-pin

M12 male circular connector is used to attach the sensor to the station or data logger (Table 7-1

(p. 9)). Using connectors between the sensor head and the station or data logger cable allows in-

field sensor head replacement without disconnecting the cable from the data logger.

The following table provides sensor wiring and cable pin-out. Detailed information about the

cables are provided in the Specifications (p. 6). Sensor wiring is also available in the Device

Configuration Utility and the MeteoPV User Interface.
