Company History
Campbell Scientific (Canada) (CSC) began operations in May 1978 in Edmonton, Alberta and was federally
incorporated in June 1980. Since its inception, CSC has been the exclusive Canadian distributor of
Campbell Scientific, Inc. equipment, specialising in the development, sales, and maintenance of data
acquisition systems.
With company sales growing rapidly, a repair and servicing facility was established in 1981. By 1986,
a production facility to manufacture sensors and peripherals of various types was created in order to
enhance delivery times. In 1988, CSC secured the manufacturing rights for an ultra sonic snow depth
sensor from Environment Canada (then the Atmospheric Environment Service). The original sensor went
through two meticulous redesigns, making the unit more robust and sensitive to the demands of snow
depth and water level measurement, and is now used world wide in these applications. Campbell Scientific
currently has more than 5,000 SR50 ultrasonic sensors in use around the globe. CSC has recently introduced
our highly anticipated state-of-the-art CC640 Digital Camera, which has been received with great enthusiasm
where remote, unattended monitoring is required.
CSC continues to be dedicated to supplying instruments of the highest quality at a reasonable price. As the
company has expanded and matured, we have also increased the variety of products we carry to better serve the
demands of our customers. The most significant was the inclusion of the R. M. Young Company product line in 1990.
The R. M. Young group of indicators, sensitive and operational wind instruments, and temperature sensors, are a
perfect compliment to Campbell Scientific's line of compact, battery operated, programmable dataloggers.
Initially designed to serve the stringent requirements of scientists and engineers involved in agricultural
and meteorological research, both product lines are manufactured to the highest standards and capable of operating
in a wide range of environments from the two poles and everything in between. Kipp & Zonen solar radiation
sensors and water quality monitoring products from Hydrolab were added to the CSC product line in 2000 to further
broaden our ability to serve many different monitoring applications.
Our extensive product range addresses a broad spectrum of markets, from agricultural and hydrological research
to environmental monitoring networks, with sophisticated communications and a wide range of industrial applications
including vehicle testing (automotive, railway, mass transit), mining, oil and gas production, and engineering.
As the expectations of scientists and engineers increase with advances in technology, Campbell Scientific (Canada)
maintains our lead in the market and will continue to do so by taking advantage of the latest innovations. The
combined world wide sales of Campbell companies is now in excess of 100,000 dataloggers (approximately 8,000 in Canada).
CSC currently employs 42 people, including 10 Technical Consultants, a product development group,
a production/repair facility and an extensive inventory of products to support service, manufacturing and enhanced
delivery times of systems to our clients.
With our awareness of market demands matched only by our commitment to research and development, Campbell Scientific
is approaching the future with further development of a range of sophisticated new products, which are scheduled for
release in the next few months.

Special Services
Monitoring/Data Acquisition Workshops:
The majority of our client base is self-taught using our detailed operator's manuals. However,
Campbell Scientific offers a variety of Monitoring/Data Acquisition Workshops, which are based
on a hands-on approach.
General Courses:
CSC routinely offers a two day General Course at our Edmonton facility. Individuals who complete
the General Course will leave with a solid understanding of the logic behind a Campbell System,
which will allow them to set up systems for almost any application.
Private Courses:
We offer private courses either by travelling to the customer's facility or holding them at our
Edmonton location, with the concept of the private course being similar to our in-house workshops
but tailored to the client's specific application.
Installations and On-Site Maintenance:
Campbell Scientific has a long history of installing turnkey systems for our customers throughout Canada
including harsh environments like the Arctic. This process includes the system design and programming of
the logger in consultation with the client. As part of the installation phase and when required, Campbell
Scientific will provide specific hands on training. Many of our customers find this the most efficient and
cost effective method of commissioning a new system and even contract Campbell Scientific to do the on-site
maintenance of their systems.
Custom Products:
Campbell Scientific (Canada) Corp. understands that each measurement and control application is unique.
We are committed to assisting our clients in the design of a custom measurement system for their specific
monitoring needs, with the flexibility of the Campbell datalogger allowing us to connect to virtually any
required sensor.
In-House Facilities
Product Design
Solid Works and AutoCAD are used for site drawings for station installations, and to
produce working drawings, assembly guidelines and mechanical designs for new products. Protel is
our program of choice for developing electronic circuit board designs.
Production
Our facilities include highly efficient and experienced personnel for the assembly of associated
peripherals and sensors and the manufacture of complete systems tailored to the customer's requirements.
Large production efforts, such as stuffing of circuit cards, are carried out by ISO 9000 registered and
certified third party companies, with final assembly and testing completed in-house. Our inventory includes
upwards of 4000 finished products, unfinished products, and spare parts.
Test and Repair
CSC has acquired a comprehensive range of test equipment, which is serviced and calibrated yearly to NIST
(National Institute of Standards and Technology) values. A series of environmental freezers, plus a state-of-the-art
environmental chamber for testing electronic equipment over the range of -65°C to +85°C ensures that Campbell
Scientific products will operate to specification in harsh conditions. This is a major segment in the testing and
evaluation of our products and components.
