The CS445 sensor should be calibrated annually using a reference thermometer in a controlled environment to ensure accuracy. Follow the calibration procedures outlined in the sensor manual.
First, ensure all connections are secure. Check the power supply and verify that the sensor is properly connected to the data logger. If the issue persists, consult the troubleshooting section of the sensor manual.
Regularly inspect the sensor for physical damage and clean it with a soft, damp cloth. Periodically check the cable and connections for wear and replace if necessary.
Yes, the CS445 sensor is designed for continuous submersion in water. Ensure that the cable connection remains above the waterline to prevent water ingress.
The CS445 sensor operates effectively within a temperature range of -20°C to 70°C. Avoid using the sensor outside of these temperatures to prevent damage.
Connect the sensor to the data logger using the appropriate channels. Configure the data logger using LoggerNet software to recognize the CS445 and set up measurement intervals as needed.
Check for environmental factors that might affect the sensor, such as debris or algae growth. Recalibrate the sensor if necessary and ensure that it is securely mounted.
Store the CS445 sensor in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the sensor is clean and dry before storage.
Compare the sensor readings with a reliable reference thermometer under controlled conditions. If discrepancies are found, recalibrate the sensor.
The CS445 sensor primarily uses SDI-12 protocol for communication with data loggers. Ensure your data logger supports this protocol for seamless integration.
