Campbell Scientific CS215 Temperature and Relative Humidity Probe - Manual (Page 11)

CS215 Temperature and Relative
Humidity Probe
1. Introduction
The CS215 Temperature and Relative Humidity Probe is designed for general
meteorological and other data logging applications. It uses the SDI-12
communications protocol to communicate with any SDI-12 recorder,
simplifying installation and programming.
Before using the CS215, please study
• Section 2, Cautionary Statements
• Section 3, Initial Inspection
• Section 4, Quickstart
2. Cautionary Statements
• READ AND UNDERSTAND the Precautions section at the front of this
manual.
• When opening the shipping package, do not damage or cut the cable
jacket. If damage to the cable is suspected, consult with a Campbell
Scientific application engineer.
• Although rugged, the CS215 should be handled as a precision scientific
instrument.
• Santoprene® rubber, which composes the black outer jacket of the CS215
cable, will support combustion in air. It is used because of its resistance to
temperature extremes, moisture, and UV degradation. It is rated as slow
burning when tested according to U.L. 94 H.B. and passes FMVSS302.
However, local fire codes may preclude its use inside buildings.
3. Initial Inspection
• Check the packaging and contents of the shipment. If damage occurred
during transport, immediately file a claim with the carrier. Contact
Campbell Scientific to facilitate repair or replacement.
• Check model information against the shipping documents to ensure the
expected products and the correct lengths of cable are received. Model
numbers are found on each product. On cables and cabled items, the
model number is usually found at the connection end of the cable. Report
any shortages immediately to Campbell Scientific.
