PLEASE READ FIRST

About this manual

Please note that this manual was originally produced by Campbell Scientific Inc. primarily for the

North American market. Some spellings, weights and measures may reflect this origin.

Some useful conversion factors:

Area: 1 in2(square inch) = 645 mm2

Length: 1 in. (inch) = 25.4 mm

1 ft (foot) = 304.8 mm

1 yard = 0.914 m

1 mile = 1.609 km

Mass: 1 oz. (ounce) = 28.35 g

1 lb (pound weight) = 0.454 kg

Pressure: 1 psi (lb/in2) = 68.95 mb

Volume: 1 UK pint = 568.3 ml

1 UK gallon = 4.546 litres

1 US gallon = 3.785 litres

In addition, while most of the information in the manual is correct for all countries, certain information

is specific to the North American market and so may not be applicable to European users.

Differences include the U.S standard external power supply details where some information (for

example the AC transformer input voltage) will not be applicable for British/European use. Please

note, however, that when a power supply adapter is ordered it will be suitable for use in your country.

Reference to some radio transmitters, digital cell phones and aerials may also not be applicable

according to your locality.

Some brackets, shields and enclosure options, including wiring, are not sold as standard items in the

European market; in some cases alternatives are offered. Details of the alternatives will be covered in

separate manuals.

Part numbers prefixed with a “#” symbol are special order parts for use with non-EU variants or for

special installations. Please quote the full part number with the # when ordering.

Recycling information

At the end of this product’s life it should not be put in commercial or domestic refuse

but sent for recycling. Any batteries contained within the product or used during the

products life should be removed from the product and also be sent to an appropriate

recycling facility.

Campbell Scientific Ltd can advise on the recycling of the equipment and in some cases

arrange collection and the correct disposal of it, although charges may apply for some

items or territories.

KH20 Krypton Hygrometer

1. General Description

The KH20 is a krypton hygrometer for measuring water vapour fluctuations in the

air. The name KH20 (KH-twenty) was derived from KH2O (K-H2O), and the

sensor has been known with this name since 1985. It is typically used with the

CSAT3 3-D sonic anemometer for measuring latent heat flux (LE), using Eddy

Covariance technique. Please refer to the Open Path Eddy Covariance System

operator’s manual for details on flux measurements using the KH20 sensor.

The KH20 sensor uses a krypton lamp that emits two absorption lines: major line

at 123.58 nm and minor line at 116.49 nm. Both of these lines are absorbed by

water vapour, and a small amount of the minor line is absorbed by oxygen. The

KH20 is not suitable for absolute water vapour concentration measurements due

to its signal offset drift.

The KH20 heads are sealed and will not suffer damage should they get wet. In

addition, the electronics box and the connectors are housed inside a rain shield

(#14113) that protects them from moisture. The KH20 is suitable for long-term

continuous outdoor applications.

The KH20 sensor is comprised of two main parts: the sensor head and the

electronics box. The sensor head comes with cables with 6 ft of lead length that

connect the sensor to the electronics box. It is shipped with a rain shield (#14113)

to protect the electronics box and the connectors from moisture, a 20 inch 3/4 IPS

threaded aluminium pipe (#3874), a 3/4” x 3/4” Nu-Rail (#1017), and a 5/32 inch

Allen wrench (#4697) for mounting. The sensor comes with a signal/power cable

which has 25 ft lead length. If a longer cable is desired, the customer can order a

replacement cable (# KH20CBL-L) and specify the desired lead length after -L.

Discussion on the principles and theory of measurement is included

in Appendix A.

3. Installation

3.1 Siting

When installing the KH20 sensor for latent heat flux measurement in an eddy

covariance application, proper siting, sensor height, sensor orientation and fetch

are important. Please refer to Section 2 Installation and Mounting of the Open

Path Eddy Covariance System manual for more discussion on siting.
