Introduction
About the Manual
This user manual is intended to be used alongside the
Climatronics
M102663 User Manual
which is available from the Climatronics website
www.climatronics.com
. It gives instructions on how to connect the BS5 to
Delta-T Data Loggers and how to successfully set-up programs for a
range of pressure measurements.
Features
The BS5 barometric pressure sensor offers selectable full scale analogue
output ranges and a selectable pressure scale wrapped up in a
weatherproof housing with a sun shield. It is packaged with a 3m output
cable, and a mounting bracket for attachment to the Delta-T Weather
Station. The selectable output ranges make the sensor suitable for all
Delta-T loggers.
The BS5/N barometer version is supplied without the housing or mounting
bracket. It is intended for use in non-condensing atmospheres where the
housing is not needed.
The barometer uses the rugged Climatronics 102663 pressure sensor for
accurate and stable measurement of barometric pressure.
The pressure transmitter requires a power source of 10-16VDC, 10mA at
12VDC.
Note: when used with DL2e or GP1 loggers these loggers must be
powered externally from a 12V supply for the barometer to work (taking
into account voltage drops in the logger).
