8. figure 4b shows the incorrect orientation CAUTION If the sensor is inserted in one of the wrong orientations it will not work excessive power will be drawn from the supply and the element may be damaged if left powered in this state for more than a few seconds Once the correct orientation of the probe is identified first make sure that your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or grease on the element Grasp the body of the sensor this also ensures you are at the same electrical potential as the element and holding the black tip of the element between your finger tips pull the element out of the socket Store the old element in electrostatic protective packaging if you wish to retain it With the element removed check for dirt and or corrosion around the socket Clean any dirt away using a damp cloth to remove any salts that might be there Unpack the replacement element making sure that you touch the packaging rather than the element first to avoid static discharges directly to the element Either hold the element by the black top of the package the other end to the gold plated pins or use a pair of fine nosed pliers or tweezers to grip the sensor by the pins Carefully offer up the pins to the socket in the end of probe Confirm the correct orientation and then gently push the pins into the socket until they will not go in any further Before replacing the filter element and turning on the power to the sensor double ch
9. ground G To use more than one probe per datalogger you can either connect the different probes to different SDI 12 compatible ports on the datalogger or change the SDI 12 addresses of the probes and let them share the same connection Using the SDI 12 address minimizes the use of ports on the datalogger and also allows probes to be connected in a daisy chain fashion which can minimize cable runs in some applications However see below for limits on the total cable length There are two ways to set the SDI 12 address of the CS215 e By sending the required commands to the sensors via an SDI 12 recorder datalogger that allows talk through to the sensor e By loading a program into the recorder that sends the required commands see section 6 below As the measurement data is transferred between the probe and datalogger digitally there are no offset errors incurred with increasing cable length as seen with analogue sensors However with increasing cable length there is still a point when the digital communications will break down resulting in either no response from the sensor or corrupted readings The original SDI 12 standard specifies the maximum total cable length for the cable as being 200 feet 61 metres In practice even longer cables than this can be used but to ensure proper operation with long cables follow these guidelines e Use low capacitance low resistance screened cable as fitted by Campbell Scientific Wit
