Overview

The CS210 enclosure humidity sensor measures relative humidity levels inside environmental enclosures. The sensor is housed inside the enclosure. A Campbell Scientific data logger measures this sensor and stores its data.

Benefits and Features

  • Allows enclosure RH to be monitored remotely
  • Used to schedule desiccant replacement

Detailed Description

When CS210's measurements indicates that the RH level inside the enclosure is 40% or more, the desiccant should be replaced with another packet. 

By having the data logger measure the sensor, the measured values can be incorporated into the transmitted data stream of remotely located data loggers. The probe has an 11-in. (28 cm) cable length, which should be adequate to place the probe near the enclosure conduits.

FAQs for

Number of FAQs related to CS210: 6

Expand AllCollapse All

  1. Can the CS210 be connected to a multiplexer?

    Yes. The sensor can be used with a multiplexer that is capable of making a single-ended voltage measurement.

  2. Does the CS210 require any regular maintenance?

    The CS210 does not have any user-serviceable parts, and it does not require any routine maintenance.

  3. Does the CS210 need to be regularly replaced?

    Campbell Scientific recommends replacing the CS210 after every three to five years of continuous use. Alternatively, if the CS210 probe fails, replace the sensor at that time.

  4. What might cause the CS210 to report negative data?

    Incorrect wiring, program errors, or a failed sensor might be the cause.

  5. When should the desiccant inside an enclosure be replaced?

    The desiccant should be replaced when the top colored dot on the humidity indicator card (pn 28878) turns pink; the humidity indicator card is included in the enclosure supply kit that is shipped with each enclosure. If the CS210, Enclosure Humidity Sensor, is used, replace the desiccant when the measured humidity exceeds 35%.

  6. What relative humidity (RH) reading from a CS210 would indicate that it is time to replace the desiccant packs in the enclosure?

    Replace the desiccant packs when the enclosure’s RH level exceeds 40%.
