1. Getting started

Getting started provides an overview of how to get data from your Aspen 10™ to CampbellCloud.

You may not find it necessary to progress beyond this guide. However, should you want to dig

deeper into the Aspen 10 functions or quickly look for details, extensive information is available in

the full Aspen 10 manual.

This exercise guides you through the following steps:

lIn the office:

oSetting up a CampbellCloud organization account

oDownloading the CampbellGo app to your smartphone

lIn the field:

oInstalling the Aspen 10 with your sensor

oSetting up CampbellGo

oAdding the Aspen 10 as an asset

oCreating a station

oUsing Go to view real time data

2. CampbellCloud

The Aspen 10 is set up to automatically send data to CampbellCloud. To ensure your data is

accessible and organized you will need to create an organization account in CampbellCloud

before installing the Aspen 10 in the field.

An organization is an entity that uses CampbellCloud services to manage a network of stations

owned by the entity. Every user must be associated with an organization. Your organization

administrator should have invited you to be a member; if you are not the account administrator,

proceed to Install Aspen 10(p. 3).

CAUTION:

If your organization already has a CampbellCloud account do not create another one.

If you are the account administrator, follow these steps:

1. Getting started1

1. Using a web browser go to www.campbell-cloud.com .

2. Click CREATE ACCOUNT.

3. If you are the person who will be responsible for the organization account click CONTINUE

TO SIGN UP.

2. CampbellCloud2

4. Fill out the form.

5. Read and select the check box for each agreement.

6. Click CREATE ACCOUNT.

7. You should receive an email confirmation from [email protected].

8. Click Verify your email. A new browser tab will open.

9. Click SIGN IN and proceed to CampbellCloud.

3. Install Aspen 10

The Aspen 10 is weather proof and does not need an additional enclosure. The integrated solar

panel should be installed so it receives a minimum of four hours of sunlight per day. See Figure

3-1 (p. 4) for recommended orientation based on latitude. A snap-on 10° tilt spacer is included

3. Install Aspen 103

with the Aspen 10 to optimize the solar panel angle in certain areas. Elsewhere, it should be

mounted in a near-vertical orientation.

Figure 3-1. Recommended solar panel orientation

The following image shows a typical installation of an Aspen 10 with a RainVUE sensor.

3.1 Mounting

1. If needed, install the snap-on 10° tilt spacer, see Figure 3-1 (p. 4).

2. Use simple cable ties (included) to mount the Aspen 10 to a vertical post.

3. Fit the extension cable connector to the sensor cable connector. Hand tighten the

connectors.

3. Install Aspen 105

CAUTION:

Hand tighten only! Using tools to tighten the connectors can permanently weld the

stainless steel connectors together.

4. The LED will flash red and blue indicating the Aspen 10 is turning on, reading the sensor

identification and obtaining a recipe (program and settings). See LED indicator (p. 14) and

Recipes(p. 16) for more information.

WARNING:

The Aspen 10 sensor connector is for Campbell Scientific approved sensors and cable

only. The connector is rated for 12VDC@ 210mA max. Cable is rated for 30 VDC.

Connections to an unsuitable sensor, cable, or device may result in damaged

equipment or loss of data. Go to www.campbellsci.com for a list of compatible

sensors and cables.

3.2 Grounding

Earth grounding is recommended when sensors are installed at distances greater than 10 meters

(33 feet) from the Aspen 10. A good earth connection is recommended to secure the ground

potential of the Aspen 10 and shunt transients away from electronics. Campbell Scientific

recommends 14 AWG wire.

Drive a ground rod close to the Aspen 10. Drive the rod at an angle if an impenetrable hard-pan

layer exists. Crimp one end of the ground wire to the insulated push-on ground terminal and

slide it onto the ground spade. Fasten the other end of the ground wire to the ground rod.

3. Install Aspen 106

DANGER:

Contact local utilities for the location of buried utility lines before digging or driving ground

rods.

Ensure all local electrical codes are followed by having electrical equipment and grounding

installed by a licensed electrician.

3.3 Sensor connector

The Aspen 10 has an 8-pin M12 connector for approved cables and sensors. Individual pins and

sockets are non-accessible. See product specifications for pinout details.

4. CampbellGo

CampbellGo enables secure NFC/Bluetooth

pairing between a smartphone and the Aspen 10.

This simplifies the installation process with real-

time sensor readings, diagnostic tools, and data-

to-cloud delivery information while you are on-

site.

4.1 Install app

Install the Go app on the smartphone you will use

for field work. The app is free and available

through the Apple App Store or Google Play

Store .

4.2 Create an asset

An asset is a device, data source, or other

equipment associated with a station in

CampbellCloud. The Aspen 10 is an asset. A

station may contain one or many assets.

1. Open CampbellGo on your phone.

2. Enter your CampbellCloud user name and

password.

3. Tap SIGN IN.

4. Because we have not yet added an asset,

Go prompts us to add one. Tap Add Aspen

10.

5. There are three ways to onboard the Aspen

10 asset: NFC, QR Scan, and UID Entry. NFC

and QR Scan require use of a smartphone

with those capabilities. For UID Entry, you

will need the device UID that is printed

below the QR code on the back of the

Aspen 10.

6. If it is not already selected, tap NFC then

START. The procedures for QR Scan and

UID Entry are similar.
