Visão Geral

The CR200 is our lowest-cost data logger. Its input channel configuration and small size is optimal for measuring one or two sensors. When paired with an ENC200 enclosure and the small 16869 battery, the packaged CR200 has a deployment size of only 6 inches by 7 inches.

The CR200 is the base model in the CR200 datalogger series. Three related models, the CR206, CR211, and CR216, carry onboard, spread-spectrum radios, and the CR295 is specially equipped for use with the TX312 GOES transmitter.

Benefícios e Características

  • Ideal where only a few sensors will be measured
  • On-board 12 Vdc lead acid battery charger
  • Stores 128,000 data points (nonvolatile)
  • Data format is table-based

Compatibilidade

Campbell Scientific’s SDM devices and multiplexers are not supported.

Sensors

The CR200 cannot make differential measurements and is not compatible with thermocouples, our geographic position sensor, fuel moisture/temperature probe, and soil heat flux sensors. However, it can measure a variety of sensors including SDI-12 sensors and 4 to 20 mA sensors. Our CS625 Reflectometer, 109 Thermistor, and CS15 Electric Current Sensor were specifically developed for our CR200-series dataloggers. Other compatible sensors include wind sets, tipping buckets, and barometers. For a complete list of compatible sensors, see the CR200-series brochure.

Communications

The CR200 can communicate with a PC via direct connect, NL100 Ethernet interface, MD485 multidrop modem, and digital cellular modems. Data can be viewed on the CD295 DataView II display or a PDA (PConnect or PConnectCE software required).

Enclosures

Applications with minimal power requirements can use the ENC200 enclosure to house the data logger and the #16869 sealed rechargeable battery. The ENC200 cannot house a barometer or a battery that is larger than the #16869. However, an ENC10/12 or ENC12/14 enclosure is adequate for most CR200-based systems.

Power Supplies

When connected to the on-board charging circuit, the sealed rechargeable battery should be 7 Ahr or smaller. Using larger batteries with the data logger's built-in charger may result in excessive PC board heating. This is especially a concern when the battery is deeply discharged or failing with a shorted cell. Campbell Scientific also recommends that solar panels be 10 W or less and wall chargers be 1 A or smaller.

Number of FAQs related to CR200: 1

  1. A practical maximum is to connect one multiplexer per every two control terminals on the data logger. Control terminals can be shared between multiplexers to increase the number of connected multiplexers. Sharing terminals, however, requires more complex wiring and programming. Users who would like to connect more than one multiplexer per every two control terminals are advised to contact a sales or support engineer at Campbell Scientific for assistance.
