The CR310 is a multi-purpose, compact, low-cost measurement and control data logger that includes an integrated 10/100 Ethernet port and removable terminal connectors. This entry-level data logger, with its rich instruction set, can measure most hydrological, meteorological, environmental, and industrial sensors. It will concentrate data, making it available over varied networks and deliver it using your preferred protocol. The CR310 also performs automated on-site or remote decision making for control and M2M communications. The CR310 is ideal for small applications requiring long-term, remote monitoring and control.
The primary differences between the CR300 and CR310 are that the CR310 offers removable connectors and a 10/100 Ethernet connection.
The CR310 has multiple radio options that are suitable for different regions:
Note: Campbell Scientific does not recommend the CR310 for use as a PakBus router in networks with more than 50 devices. Large arrays or string variables may also reach memory limits. For such applications, a CR1000X Measurement and Control Datalogger is recommended.

The CR310 is typically not used with measurement and control peripherals because of its limited number of control ports. It is also compatible with low on current and voltage solid-state relays.
The CR310 is not compatible with SDM or CDM devices.
With several channel types, the CR310 is compatible with nearly every available sensor. This includes analog output voltage (0 to 2.5 V) and current (0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA) sensors, thermistors, and RTDs to name a few. It is also compatible with pulse or frequency output sensors such as anemometers, rain gauges, and flow meters. CR310 dataloggers are not capable of applying reverse excitation, and they cannot be used with some conductivity or soil matric potential sensors.
SDI-12, Modbus, and other serial sensors are supported with the RS-232 port and C1 and C2 as a Tx/Rx pair. The CR310 does not directly support RS-485 sensors.
The CR310 can communicate with a PC via its USB port. Compatible telemetry devices include our RS-485 converters, digital cellular gateways, RF telemetry, and satellite transmitters. Data can be viewed on an iOS device, an Android device, or CD295 DataView II Display. To use an iOS or Android device, go to the Apple Store or Google Play and download our free LoggerLink Mobile Apps.

The CR310 uses an external power source and has a built-in charger/regulator. Intelligent power sourcing autoselects the highest voltage from three input sources (Chg, Bat, or USB) to operate in one of the following four modes:
An ENC10/12 or ENC12/14 enclosure is adequate for most CR310-based systems.
