CS105/CS105MD Barometric Pressure Sensor

1. General

The CS105 analog barometer uses Vaisala’s Barocap® silicon capacitive
pressure sensor. The Barocap sensor has been designed for accurate and stable
measurement of barometric pressure. The CS105 outputs a linear 0 to 2.5
VDC signal that corresponds to 600 to 1060 mb. It can be operated in a
powerup or continuous mode. In the powerup mode the datalogger switches
12 VDC power to the barometer during the measurement. The datalogger then
powers down the barometer between measurements to conserve power.

CS105/CS105MD Barometric Pressure Sensor

Supply Voltage: 10 to 30 VDC

Supply Voltage Control: When enabled with an internal jumper, the CS105 is
on continually. When disabled, the CS105 can be turned on/off with 5 VDC/0
VDC.

Supply voltage sensitivity: Less than 0.1 mb

Current Consumption: <4 mA (active); <1 µA (quiescent)

Output Voltage: 0 to 2.5 VDC

Warm Up Time: 1 second

Pressure fitting: barbed fitting for 1/8” I.D. tubing

Overpressure limit: 2000 mb

NOTE

The black outer jacket of the cable is Santoprene
compound was chosen for its resistance to temperature extremes,
moisture, and UV degradation. However, this jacket will
support combustion in air. It is rated as slow burning when
tested according to U.L. 94 H.B. and will pass FMVSS302.
Local fire codes may preclude its use inside buildings.

3. Installation and Wiring

The CS105 can be operated in one of two modes: powerup and continuous.
The mode is selected by a jumper located underneath a black plug on the face
of the barometer. When the jumper is not installed, the CS105 is in powerup
mode and the datalogger turns the CS105 on and off with a control port or
excitation channel; to use the excitation channel the datalogger must be able to
provide an excitation voltage of 5 VDC. When the jumper is installed the
CS105 is powered continuously.

NOTE

NOTE

CS105s shipped from Campbell Scientific are configured for
powerup mode (jumper open).

CS105MDs shipped from Campbell Scientific are configured for
continuous power mode (jumper closed).

CS105/CS105MD Barometric Pressure Sensor

4. Programming

4.1 CS105MD

Programming the MetData1 station for the CS105MD is done through
Campbell Scientific’s Short Cut program. Short Cut includes code in th e
.DLD file to correct for elevation.

4.2 CS105

Atmospheric pressure changes little with time. In most weather station
applications measuring pressure once an hour is adequate. In Examples 1 and
2 the datalogger turns on the CS105 one minute before the top of the hour with
a control port. As in the example, the execution interval must be one minute or
less. On the hour the datalogger measures the CS105, records the pressure,
and turns off the CS105.

In Example 3 the CS105 is measured every execution interval. The datalogger
turns the CS105 on and waits one second for the CS105 to warm up, before the
measurement is made.

WARNING

The execution interval must be long enough to accommodate the one second
delay, to warm up the CS105, and all the other measurement and processing
instructions in the program.

In Example 4, the CS105 is measured every execution interval with a 21X. An
excitation channel is used to turn the CS105 on and off.

A CR10(X), CR500, and CR510 excitation channel
cannot be used to turn the CS105 on and off because
the maximum excitation voltage is 2.5 volts. The
CS105 control requires 5 VDC.

In the example programs the pressure is reported in millibars (mb). To report
pressure in different units, multiply (Edlog Instruction 37) the measured
pressure by the appropriate conversion factor (Table 2).

5. Long Lead Lengths

There is a 0.06 mV/foot voltage drop in the CS105 signal leads. This voltage
drop, in long lead lengths, will raise the barometric reading by approximately

1.1 mb per 100 feet.

For lead lengths greater than 20 feet, use the differential instruction
(Instruction 2) to measure the CS105.

6. Correcting Pressure to Sea Level

The weather service, most airports, radio stations, and television stations
reduce the atmospheric pressure to a common reference (sea level). Equation 1
can be used to find the difference in pressure between the sea level and the site.
That value (dP) is then added to the offset (600 mb) in the measurement
instruction. U. S. Standard Atmosphere and dry air were assumed when
Equation 1 was derived (Wallace, J. M. and P. V. Hobbes, 1977: Atmospheric
Science: An Introductory Survey, Academic Press, pp. 59-61).

The value dP is in millibars and the site elevation, E, is in meters. Add dP to
the offset in the measurement instruction.

Sea level correction is automatically coded into datalogger programs when
using Short Cut.

There are no user-serviceable parts on CS105. Vaisala recommends
recalibrating the CS105 every year. Contact Campbell Scientific, Inc., phone

recalibration.

Appendix A. Daily Average

If the CS105 will be measured every minute or faster, and a daily average is
required, follow Example 5. In Example 5 the daily average, maximum, and
minimum pressure is recorded at midnight. A constant is subtracted from the
pressure before the average instruction is executed. This prevents the loss of
significant digits when adding small numbers to large numbers in floating
point arithmetic.
