Appendix E. Temperature Profile

The AP200 system can measure a temperature profile at up to eight levels, with

107-L temperature probes. These temperature probes are not part of the AP200

system – they must be ordered separately. See the Model 107 Temperature

Probe Instruction Manual, available from Campbell Scientific,

www.campbellscientific.com

, for details.

The following section gives brief instructions for using these temperature

probes with the AP200 system.

Mounting

See the 107 Temperature Probe Instruction Manual for more detail on

installing the temperature probes. Normally, the probes will be mounted at the

same heights as the air sample intake assemblies. See Section 4.1.4, Other

Accessories, for more detailed discussion of the 107-L temperature probe and

its associated radiation shield. The assembled probe and shield are shown in

FIGURE E-1.

Wiring

The 107 temperature probes should be wired to consecutive single-ended

channels, starting at SE1. Any number of probes from 0 to 8 may, be used.

All temperature probes should use the VX1 excitation terminal.

Configuring the CRBasic program

The AP200 program has a constant,

N_AirTemps that is used as a compile

switch to tell the program how many 107-L temperature probes are used. Set

this constant to zero (the default) to disable reading temperature probes or to a

number from 1 to 8 that indicates the number of probes to be measured.
