1. Introduction

The CS241 temperature sensor uses a precision 1000 ohm Class A platinum resistance

thermometer (PRT) to measure temperature. It is designed for measuring the back-of-

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

of other devices. The CS241 can be measured with a 2-wire or 4-wire configuration and is

compatible with most Campbell Scientific data loggers.

NOTE:

This manual provides information only for CRBasic data loggers. The sensor 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 using the isopropyl alcohol pad shipped with 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. 13)).

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 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

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, or PC400.

The following procedure also shows using Short Cut to program the CS241.

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 CS241. 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 sensor, 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, or PC400 to make sure it is

making reasonable measurements.

5. Overview

The CS241 is a surface mountable platinum resistive thermometer (PRT) that measures back-of-

module temperature for solar energy applications. It uses a precision PT-1000 Class A PRT to

provide the highest level of accuracy. To withstand the harsh treatment that commonly occurs

with 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.

The CS241 provides 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.
