Section 1. Introduction The CSBUOY-NS is programmed to communicate directly with a personal computer operating Device Configuration Utility software and/or as a wireless sensor providing data for other Campbell Scientific dataloggers. A 5-watt solar panel is used to trickle charge the battery. 1.
Section 1. Introduction Solar Panel 1-2 Typical Peak Power: 5W Voltage @ Peak Power: 17.1 Vdc Current @ Peak Power: 300 mA Dimensions: 9.45” (24 cm) length, 10.4” (26.
Section 2. CSBUOY-NS Description The CSBUOY-NS is designed to eliminate the use of hard-wire cable to connect the water quality sensors with the datalogger (CR510, CR10X, CR23X, CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR3000). This manual covers installation, communication, and maintenance. 2.1 System Components 5 W Solar Panel Instrument Housing Mooring Eyebolts 5 W Solar Panel Float Antenna Sensor Shroud CR206 Solar Panel Mounting Brackets FIGURE 2-1.

Section 3. CSBUOY Installation 3.1 Site Selection The site should represent the general area being measured. Placement should allow the buoy to float freely without obstruction from the bottom of the water compound being monitored. The buoy solar panel should not have any obstruction from full sunlight. Keep away from overhanging trees or other obstructions. The solar panel should be angled towards the south to maximize full solar capabilities. 3.

Section 4. Communication The CSBUOY-NS can be used as a stand-alone monitoring system that communicates directly with the PC, or as a wireless sensor that is integrated with other Campbell Scientific dataloggers (CR510, CR10X, CR23X, CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR3000) with table-based operating systems using the Device Configuration Utility communication protocol. 4.1 Direct Connection to PC In order to communicate with the CSBUOY-NS directly from the PC: 1.
Section 4. Communication Programming Examples The following example allows the CR1000 to communicate with one CSBUOY-NS, measuring the parameters.

Section 5. Maintenance The CSBUOY-NS has been engineered to provide many years of reliable service. However, periodic maintenance is required to help ensure that the system performs up to its potential. Equipment must be in good operating condition, which requires a program of regular inspection and maintenance. Routine and simple maintenance can be accomplished by the person in charge of the CSBUOY-NS. 5.1 Instrumentation Maintenance The instrumentation requires a minimum of routine maintenance.
Section 5. Maintenance Each month • Check humidity indicator card (or humidity readings from sensor). Replace desiccant pack and tighten Heyco pressure fittings if needed. Each Year • Check cable for rodent or environmental damage. • Replace humidity indicator card if necessary. Every Three to Five Years • Replace 10162 Humidity Sensor (if being used). General Maintenance 5-2 • An occasional cleaning of the glass on the solar panel will improve its efficiency.
