Section 1. Introduction The CSBUOY-DT is programmed to communicate directly with a personal computer operating Device Configuration Utility software and/or as a wireless sensor providing data for other Campbell Scientific dataloggers. A 5-watt solar panel is used to trickle charge the battery. 1.
Section 1. Introduction Solar Panel Typical Peak Power: 5W Voltage @ Peak Power: 17.1 Vdc Current @ Peak Power: 300 mA Dimensions: 9.45” (24 cm) length, 10.4” (26.
Section 2. CSBUOY-DT Description The CSBUOY-DT is designed to eliminate the use of hard-wire cable to connect the dissolved oxygen and water temperature sensors with the datalogger (CR510, CR10X, CR23X, CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR3000). Operation is simplified through a modular design, prewired sensors, and preprogrammed interface. This manual covers installation, communication, and maintenance. 2.
Section 2. CSBUOY-DT Description 2.3 Communication Options • Direct RS-232 Connection to PC • RF401 Spread Spectrum Radio Connection to PC • Rf401 Spread Spectrum Radio Connection to Datalogger (CR510, CR10X, CR23X, CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR3000) 2.
Section 3. CSBUOY Installation 3.1 Site Selection The site should represent the general area being measured. Placement should allow the buoy to float freely without obstruction from the bottom of the water compound being monitored. The buoy solar panel should not have any obstruction from full sunlight. Keep away from overhanging trees or other obstructions. The solar panel should be angled towards the south to maximize full solar capabilities. 3.
Section 3. CSBUOY Installation Secure the mooring eye-bolts to a mooring line or the anchor eye-bolt to the anchor line to secure placement of buoy in desired location.
Section 4. Communication The CSBUOY-DT can be used as a stand-alone monitoring system that communicates directly with the PC, or as a wireless sensor that is integrated with other Campbell Scientific dataloggers (CR510, CR10X, CR23X, CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR3000) with table-based operating systems using the PakBus communication protocol. 4.1 Direct Connection to PC In order to communicate with the CSBUOY-DT directly from the PC: 1. Device Configuration Utility software must be installed in the PC. 2.
Section 4. Communication Programming Examples The following example allows the CR1000 to communicate with one CSBUOY-DT.
Section 4. Communication 4: Sample (P70) 1: 13 2: 1 Reps Loc [ Batt ] For further instruction on programming, please refer to the CR10X manual.
Section 4.
Section 5. Maintenance The CSBUOY-DT has been engineered to provide many years of reliable service. However, periodic maintenance is required to help ensure that the system performs up to its potential. Equipment must be in good operating condition, which requires a program of regular inspection and maintenance. Routine and simple maintenance can be accomplished by the person in charge of the CSBUOY-DT. 5.1 Instrumentation Maintenance The instrumentation requires a minimum of routine maintenance.
Section 5. Maintenance • Check inside of the instrument housing to ensure against water leakage. Any leakage will also be indicated by increase in humidity inside the instrument housing. • Check the dissolved oxygen probe to ensure a correct reading. Each month • Check wiper brush to ensure it is removing biological growth from the dissolved oxygen membrane. • Check humidity indicator card (or humidity readings from sensor). Replace desiccant pack and tighten Heyco pressure fittings if needed.
Section 5. Maintenance 5.1.4.1 Air Calibration 1. Place the dissolved oxygen probe in the air, shaded from the sun. Wait for the measurement reading to stabilize. This may take 15 minutes or more. 2. Determine the air temperature (use the temperature reading from the probe; this is found on the Device Configuration Utility screen) and the barometric pressure(preferred) or elevation. 3. Using the calibration chart determine the oxygen concentration in the air. 4.
