CS547A Conductivity and Temperature
Probe and A547 Interface
1. Overview
The CS547A conductivity and temperature probe, and A547 interface are
designed for measuring the electrical conductivity, dissolved solids, and
temperature of fresh water with Campbell Scientific dataloggers. This sensor
can be used with any CSI logger that can issue a negative excitation. This
includes most new CRBasic dataloggers as well as older, Edlog loggers.
Exceptions include the CR200-series, the BDR301 and BDR320 loggers which
did not have this feature. Use with our AM16/32(B) multiplexer is possible
when needing to measure several of these probes on one datalogger.
Electrical conductivity (EC) of a solution is a simple physical property, but
measurements can be difficult to interpret. This manual instructs the user how
to make EC measurements with the CS547A. Accuracy specifications apply to
measurements of EC in water containing KCl, Na
which are typical calibration compounds, and to EC not yet compensated for
temperature effects.
Statements made on methods of temperature compensation or estimating dissolved
solids are included to introduce common ways of refining and interpreting data, but
are not definitive. Authoritative sources to consult include the USGS WaterSupply Paper 1473, The pH and Conductivity Handbook published by OMEGA
Engineering, physical chemistry texts, and other sources.

1.1 EC Sensor
The EC sensor consists of three stainless steel rings mounted in an epoxy tube
as shown in Figure 4-1. Resistance of water in the tube is measured by
excitation of the center electrode with positive and negative voltage.
This electrode configuration eliminates the ground looping problems
associated with sensors in electrical contact with earth ground.
Temperature is measured with a thermistor in a three wire half bridge
configuration.
1.2 A547 Interface
The interface contains the completion resistors and blocking capacitors. The
interface should be kept in a non-condensing environment that is maintained
within the temperature range of the unit.

Range
Accuracy
Rapid heating and cooling of the probe, such as leaving it
in the sun and then submersing it in a cold stream, may
cause irreparable damage.
The EC sensor measures the EC of water inside the hole running through the
sensor, so detection of rapid changes in EC requires that the probe be flushed
continuously. This is easy to accommodate in a flowing stream by simply
orienting the sensor parallel to the direction of flow. In stilling wells and
ground wells, however, diffusion rate of ions limits the response time.
The housing and sensor cable are made of water impervious, durable materials.
Care should be taken, however, to mount the probe where contact with
abrasives and moving objects will be avoided. Strain on cables can be
minimized by using a split mesh strain relief sleeve on the cable, which is
recommended for cables over 100 ft. The strain relief sleeve is available from
Campbell Scientific as part number 7421.

4. Wiring
WARNING
Because the CS547A has a slightly positive buoyancy, we recommend
securing the sensor to a fixed or retractable object or selecting the cable weight
option.
The A547 is usually mounted in the datalogger enclosure.
The voltage excitation channel used for each EC
measurement must be separate from the one used for
temperature or measurement errors will result. If
multiple CS547A/A547s are to be wired to a single
logger, each conductivity excitation must be kept on a
separate, dedicated VX or EX channel, but you can
combine several temperature excitations lines onto a
single VX or EX port.

5.1 Programming Overview
Typical datalogger programs to measure the CS547A consist of four parts:
1. Measurement of EC and temperature
EC: Resistance across the electrodes is computed from the results of the
BrFull (P6) or BrHalf (P5) instructions (chosen automatically as part of
the autoranging feature) followed by the Bridge Transformation algorithm
(P59).

CS547A Conductivity and Temperature Probe and A547 Interface
2. Correction of ionization errors in EC measurements
Ionization caused by the excitation of the EC sensor can cause large
errors. Campbell Scientific has developed a linear correction for
-1
conductivity between 0.005 and 0.44 mS cm
for conductivity between 0.44 and 7.0 mS cm
determined in standard salt solutions containing KCl, Na
, and a quadratic correction
-1
. Corrections were
, NaHCO3,
2SO4
and NaCl.
3. Correction of temperature errors in EC measurements
The effect of temperature on the sample solution can cause large errors in
the EC measurement. A simple method of correcting for this effect is to
assume a linear relationship between temperature and EC. This method
generally produces values to within 2% to 3% of a measurement made at
25°C.
The best corrections are made when the temperature coefficient is
determined at a temperature near field conditions. See Section 9 for
details on how to determine the temperature coefficient. If determining
the temperature coefficient is not possible, use a value of 2%/°C as a
rough estimate.
4. Output processing
Over large ranges, EC is not linear and is best to use the Sample
instruction in CRBasic or Instruction 70 in Edlog. In limited ranges,
averaging measurements over time may be acceptable; this is
accomplished by using the Average instruction in CRBasic or Instruction
71 in Edlog. Convention requires that the temperature at the time of the
measurement be reported.

6. Calibration
6.1 Conversion Factors
1 S (Siemens) = 1 mho = 1/ohm
Although mS·cm
base unit is S·m
EC measurements can be used to estimate dissolved solids. For high accuracy,
calibration to the specific stream is required. However, for rough estimates,
values between 550 and 750 mg·l
values generally being associated with waters high in sulfate concentration
(USGS Water-Supply Paper #1473, p. 99). A common practice is to multiply
the EC in mS·cm
6.2 Typical Ranges
Single distilled water will have an EC of at least 0.001 mS·cm-1. ECs of
melted snow usually range from 0.002 to 0.042 mS·cm
usually range from 0.05 to 50.0 mS·cm
EC of sea water (USGS Water-Supply Paper 1473, p. 102).
6.3 Factory Calibration
The CS547A is shipped with a cell constant calibrated in a 0.01 molal KCl
solution at 25.0°C ±0.05°C. The solution has an EC of 1.408 mS cm

The cell constant is a dimensional number expressed in units of cm-1. The unit
-1
is slightly easier to understand when expressed as cm·cm-2. Because it is
cm
dimensional, the cell constant as determined at any one standard, will change
only if the physical dimensions inside the CS547A probe change. Error due to
thermal expansion and contraction is negligible. Corrosion and abrasion,
however, have the potential of causing significant errors.
A field calibration of the CS547A cell constant can be accomplished as
follows:
1. Make a 0.01 molal KCL solution by dissolving 0.7456 g of reagent grade
KCl in 1000 g of distilled water, or purchase a calibration solution.
2. Clean the probe thoroughly with the black nylon brush shipped with the
CS547A and a small amount of soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with
distilled water, dry thoroughly, and place in the KCl solution.
3. Connect the CS547A and A547 or probe and interface to the datalogger
using the wiring described in Section 4. Program the datalogger to make
the field calibration (see Section 6.4.1 if you have CRBasic datalogger or
Section 6.4.2 if you have an Edlog datalogger).

CS547A Conductivity and Temperature Probe and A547 Interface
The calibration solution temperature must be between 1°C and 35°C; a
polynomial is used to correct for temperature errors within this range. The
-1
solution constant of 1.408 mS cm
(for prepared solution mentioned above), is
valid only for a 0.01 molal KCl solution.

8.2 Temperature Measurement Error
The overall probe accuracy is a combination of the thermistor's
interchangeability specification, the precision of the bridge resistors, and the
polynomial error. In a "worst case" all errors add to an accuracy of ±0.4°C
over the range of -24° to 48°C and ±0.9°C over the range of -38°C to 53°C.
The major error component is the interchangeability specification of the
thermistor, tabulated in Table 8.2-1. For the range of 0° to 50°C the
interchangeability error is predominantly offset and can be determined with a
single point calibration. Compensation can then be done with an offset entered
in the measurement instruction. The bridge resistors are 0.1% tolerance with a
10 ppm temperature coefficient. Polynomial errors are tabulated in Table 8.2-2
and plotted in Figure 8.2-1.

10. Therm107 / P11 Instruction Details
Understanding the details in this section is not necessary for general operation
of the CS547A probe with CSI's dataloggers.
The Therm107 instruction (or P11 in Edlog) outputs a precise 2 VAC
excitation (4 V with the 21X) and measures the voltage drop due to the sensor
resistance. The thermistor resistance changes with temperature. The
instruction calculates the ratio of voltage measured to excitation voltage
(Vs/Vx) which is related to resistance, as shown below:
Vs/Vx = 1000/(Rs+249000+1000)
where Rs is the resistance of the thermistor.
See the measurement section of the datalogger manual for more information on
bridge measurements.
Temperature is calculated using a fifth order polynomial equation correlating
Vs/Vx with temperature. The polynomial coefficients are given in Table 10-2.
The polynomial input is (Vs/Vx)*800. Resistance and datalogger output at
several temperatures are shown in Table 10-1.

electronically noisy environment, the 107 temperature measurement should be
measured with longer integration periods than 250µSec. For CRBasic loggers,
the Therm107 Integration parameter has options for 60 Hz rejection that
impose a long 3mSec integration. Sixty and 50 Hz rejection is also available
as an option in the Excitation Channel parameter of Instruction 11 for the
CR10X, CR510, and CR23X dataloggers. For the CR10, CR21X and CR7, the
107 should be measured with the AC half bridge (Instruction 5).
Example 11-1, CR1000 measurement instruction with 60 Hz rejection:
Therm107(TempDeg_C,1,3,2,0,_60Hz,1.0,0.0)
Example 11-2. Sample CR10(X) Instructions Using AC Half Bridge
1: AC Half Bridge (P5)
1: 1 Rep
2: 22** 7.5 mV 60 Hz rejection Range
3: 3* IN Chan
4: 2* Excite all reps w/EXchan 2
5: 2000** mV Excitation
6: 11* Loc [ Air_Temp ]
7: 800 Mult
8: 0 Offset
* Proper entries will vary with program and datalogger channel and input location assignments.
** On the 21X and CR7 use the 15 mV input range and 4000 mV excitation.
12. Long Lead Lengths Temperature
If the CS547A has lead lengths of more than 300 feet, use the DC Half Bridge
instruction (Instruction 4) with a 2 millisecond delay to measure temperature.
The delay provides a longer settling time before the measurement is made. Do
not use the CS547A with long lead lengths in an electrically noisy
environment.
For all CRBasic loggers, as well as CR10X, CR510 and CR23X that have 60
and 50 Hz integration options, this forces a 3 mSec settling time, which
accommodates long lead lengths. Longer settling times can be entered into the
Settling Time parameter.
