Instruction manual

Model 109SS Temperature Probe

1. Introduction

The 109SS Temperature Probe uses a thermistor to measure temperature in soil

and water. It is compatible with all CRBasic dataloggers except the

CR9000(X). See Section 6, Specifications, for a list of compatible CRBasic

dataloggers.

For Edlog datalogger support, check the availability of an older manual at

www.campbellsci.com/old-manuals, or contact a Campbell Scientific

application engineer for assistance.

2. Cautionary Statements

• READ AND UNDERSTAND the Precautions section at the front of this

manual.

• Santoprene

rubber, which composes the black outer jacket of the 109SS

cable, will support combustion in air. It is used because of its resistance to

temperature extremes, moisture, and UV degradation. It is rated as slow

burning when tested according to U.L. 94 H.B. and passes FMVSS302.

However, local fire codes may preclude its use inside buildings.

3. Initial Inspection

• Check the packaging and contents of the shipment. If damage occurred

during transport, immediately file a claim with the carrier. Contact

Campbell Scientific to facilitate repair or replacement.

• Check model information against the shipping documents to ensure the

expected products and the correct lengths of cable are received. Model

numbers are found on each product. On cables and cabled items, the

model number is usually found at the connection end of the cable. Report

any shortages immediately to Campbell Scientific.
