Overview
The CS215-PWS is a temperature and relative humidity probe with a special connector on the cable for attaching to a PWS100. It uses a Swiss-made digital humidity and temperature element that makes accurate and stable measurements. The CS215-PWS outputs an SDI-12 signal measurable by most Campbell Scientific data loggers.
Key Advantages
Specially cabled for PWS100
Technical Description
For this version of the CS215 Temperature and RH Probe, the cable has, instead of pigtails, a connector for attachment to the PWS100.
The CS215 uses the Sensirion SHT75, a combined relative humidity and temperature element, to provide accurate, stable measurements. The Sensirion SHT75 element is field-replaceable, eliminating the downtime typically required for the recalibration process. The CS215 outputs an SDI-12 signal that's measurable by many Campbell Scientific data loggers.
The CS215 should be housed in a solar radiation shield—typically the 41303-5A. The 41303-5A 6-plate naturally aspirated shield attaches to a mast, crossarm, or tower leg.
Benefits
- Accurate and stable measurements
- Field changeable element allows on-site recalibration
