1. Introduction

The CS240 and CS240DM temperature sensors use a precision 1000 ohm class A platinum

resistance thermometer (PRT) to measure temperature. They are designed for measuring the

back-of-photovoltaic (PV) module temperature but also can be used to measure the surface

temperature of other devices. The CS240 can be measured with a 2-wire or 4-wire configuration

and is compatible with most Campbell Scientific data loggers. The CS240DM has a digital RS-485

output that can be directly read by a MeteoPV, CR6, CR1000X, or Modbus RTU RS-485 network.

Other Campbell Scientific data loggers can use an MD485 multidrop interface to read the

CS240DM output.

NOTE:

This manual provides information only for CRBasic data loggers. The CS240 is also

compatible with our retired Edlog data loggers. For Edlog data logger support, contact

Campbell Scientific. Support for Edlog data loggers is no longer free; see

www.campbellsci.com/news-edlog-retiring for more information.

2. Precautions

lREAD AND UNDERSTAND the Safety section at the back of this manual.

lDo not use epoxy to secure the sensor head to a PV module.

lBefore mounting, the installers need to wash their hands and then clean the back of the PV

module or other device with ethyl alcohol.

lDo not place tape over the sensor molding; only place tape on the metal disk portion of

the sensor.

lPrying the sensor head off will likely damage both the sensor and PV module.

lProper strain relief of the cable is required after mounting the sensor to the measurement

surface (Mounting/cable strain relief (p. 8)).

lPlacement of the cable inside a rugged conduit is advisable for cable runs over 4.5 m (15

ft), especially in locations subject to digging, mowing, traffic, power tools, animals, or

lightning strikes.

3. Initial inspection

lUpon receipt of the sensor, inspect the packaging and contents for damage. File damage

claims with the shipping company.

lThe model number, cable length, and cable resistance (CS240 only) are printed on a label

at the connection end of the cable. Check this information against the shipping documents

to ensure the expected product and cable length were received.

4. QuickStart

The information provided in this section is for the CS240.

A video that describes data logger programming using Short Cut is available at:

www.campbellsci.com/videos/cr1000x-data logger-getting-started-program-part-3. Short Cut is

an easy way to program your data logger to measure the sensor and assign data logger wiring

terminals. Short Cut is available as a download on www.campbellsci.com. It is included in

installations of LoggerNet, RTDAQ, PC400, or PC200W.

The following procedure also shows using Short Cut to program the CS240 and CS240DM.

1. Open Short Cut and click Create New Program.

2. Double-click the data logger model.

3. In the Available Sensors and Devices box, type CS240. You can also locate the sensor in the

Sensors >Temperature folder. Double click the sensor model. The surface temperature

defaults to degree C. This can be changed by clicking the Temperature box and selecting

one of the other options. If using the 2-wire configuration, type the Cable Resistance. This

value is unique for each CS240 and CS240DM, and is printed on the heat shrink label

attached to the sensor cable.

4. Click on the Wiring tab to see how the sensor is to be wired to the data logger. Click OK

after wiring the sensor.

5. Repeat steps three and four for other sensors you want to measure. Click Next.

6. In Output Setup, type the scan rate, a meaningful table name, and the Data Output

Storage Interval.

7. Select the measurement and its associated output option.

8. Click Finish and save the program. Send the program just created to the data logger if the

data logger is connected to the computer.

9. If the sensor is connected to the data logger, check the output of the sensor in the data

logger support software data display in LoggerNet, RTDAQ, PC400, or PC200W to make

sure it is making reasonable measurements.

5. Overview

The CS240 and CS240DM are surface mountable platinum resistive thermometers (PRT) that

measure back-of-module temperature for solar energy applications. They use a precision PT-1000

class A PRT to provide the highest level of accuracy. To withstand the harsh treatment commonly

seen in meteorological station installation, the sensing element is safely housed inside a specially

designed self-adhesive aluminum disk (FIGURE 5-1 (p. 5)).

The disk protects the PRT, particularly during installation, and promotes heat transfer from the

surface. An adhesive tab on the disk fastens the sensor to the measurement surface. If the

temperature may exceed 70 °C, extreme sealing tape is also required to secure the sensor.

The CS240DM includes a Campbell Scientific precision analog-to-digital, smart-sensor module

for making the measurements. The module design is optimized for the class A PRT that

minimizes self-heating and lead-wire resistance. Measurement electronics are surge protected

with 1200 V isolation and environmentally protected with a rugged overmolding with an IP65

rating.

The CS240 and CS240DM provide PV stakeholders with highly accurate back-of-module

temperature, even at long cable lengths, in power performance modeling and simulation of solar

energy applications. Back-of-module temperature is critical for any evaluation of effective

irradiance and power conversion.
