Overview

108-LC Temp Probe (-5 to +95C) for MetData1

The 108-LC is a version of the 108 that has a cable terminated in a connector rather than the standard pigtails. The connector can be attached to the CS110 lightning meter or to the ET107, ET106, or MetData1 weather stations.

The 108-L is a rugged, accurate probe that measures temperature of air, soil, or water from -5° to +95°C.  Designed for durability and ease of installation/removal, the 108-L easily interfaces with most Campbell Scientific data loggers.

Technical Description

For this version of the 108 thermistor, the cable terminates in a connector rather than the standard pigtails. The connector can be attached to the ET107 Weather Station, ET106 Weather Station (retired), or MetData1 Weather Station (retired).

The 108-LC can be used to accurately measure the temperature of a variety of media, most commonly air, water, and soil. It consists of a thermistor encapsulated in a cylindrical aluminum housing. The 108-LC measures the range of -5° to +95°C; to measure the -35° to +50°C temperature range, see the 107-LC probe.

Soil Measurements

The 108-LC is suitable for shallow burial only. It should be placed horizontally at the desired measurement depth to avoid thermal conduction from the surface to the thermistor. Placement of the sensor cable inside a rugged conduit may be advisable for long cable runs, especially in locations subject to digging/mowing, traffic, use of power tools, or lightning strikes.

Benefits

  • Versatile product—measures air, soil, or water temperature
  • Easy to install on the ET107 Weather Station
  • Durable
