1. Introduction

The CS250DM delivers extremely accurate and precise air temperature data necessary for IEC

61724 Class A solar monitoring applications and delta temperature (ΔT) calculations for

temperature gradient and stability analysis.

2. Precautions

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

lWhen opening the shipping package, do not damage or cut the cable jacket. If damage to

the cable is suspected, consult with a Campbell Scientific support engineer.

lAlthough rugged, the CS250DM should be handled as a precision scientific instrument.

3. Initial inspection

lUpon receipt of the CS250DM, inspect the packaging and contents for damage. File

damage claims with the shipping company.

lThe model number, cable length, Modbus address, and serial settings 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,PC400, and PC200W.

The following procedure also shows using Short Cut to program the CS250DM.

CS250DM PT-1000 Class A, Precision Air Temperature Sensor 1

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 CS250DM. You can also locate the sensor in

the Sensors >Temperature folder. Double click the sensor model. Type the RS-485 address;

default address is printed on the cable. The RS-485 address must be unique and may need

to be changed if another sensor on the terminal has the same address. Refer to Device

Configuration Utility (p. 13) for information on changing the address. The 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

display in LoggerNet,RTDAQ,PC400, or PC200W to make sure it is making reasonable

measurements.

5. Overview

The CS250DM uses a precision PT-1000 class A platinum resistor thermometer (PRT) to provide

the highest level of accuracy. The cable 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 lead-wire resistance. Measurement electronics

are surge protected with 1200 V isolation and environmentally protected with a rugged

overmolding with an IP65 rating.

When exposed to sunlight, the CS250DM should be housed in the 41303-5A 6-plate radiation

shield or RAD06 6-plate radiation shield.

lCompatible CRBasic data loggers: CR6, CR1000X, CR3000 (with MD485), CR800 series (with

MD485), CR300 series (with MD485), CR1000 (with MD485),

lEasily interfaces with the MeteoPV Platform without coding

lDirectly connects with Modbus RTU RS-485 Networks

7. Installation

If you are programming your data logger with Short Cut, skip Wiring (p. 10), and Programming

(p. 10). Short Cut does this work for you. See QuickStart (p. 1), for a Short Cut tutorial.

7.1 Siting

The general EPA guidance for standard meteorological stations is to locate the sensor over an

open, level area at least 9 m (29.5 ft) in diameter. The surface should be covered by short grass or

the natural earth surface where grass does not grow. Sensors should be located at a distance of

at least ten times the height of any nearby obstruction and at least 30 m (98.4 ft) from large,

paved areas. Sensors should be protected from thermal radiation and adequately ventilated.

Protect the filter at the top of the sensor from exposure to liquid water.

CS250DM PT-1000 Class A, Precision Air Temperature Sensor 7

FIGURE 7-1. Clearances

The sensor should be installed at a standard measurement height which varies depending on the

guides being used:

l1.5 m (4.92 ft) (AASC)

l1.25 to 2.0 m (4.1 to 6.5 ft) (WMO)

l2.0 m (6.5 ft) (EPA)

When used in the field, the CS250DM must be housed in a radiation shield. Typically, the RAD06

6-plate radiation shield is used.

The white color of these shields reflects solar radiation, and the louvered construction allows air

to pass freely through, thereby keeping the sensor at or near ambient temperature. The RAD06

uses a double-louvered design that offers improved sensor protection from insect intrusion and

driving rain and snow. In addition, compared to shields of a similar appearance, the RAD shields

have lower self-heating in bright sunlight combined with low wind speeds giving a better

measurement. The RAD06 attaches to a crossarm, mast, or pipe with a 2.5 to 5.3 cm (1.0 to 2.1

inch) outer diameter.

Tools required for installing a radiation shield to a tripod or tower include:

ladjustable wrench (to suit 12 mm (1/2 in) nuts)

lsmall screwdriver provided with data logger

lsmall Phillips screwdriver

lUV-resistant cable ties

lsmall pair of diagonal-cutting pliers

ladjustable wrench with a minimum 50 mm (2 in) jaw size.
