Connecting a CS650 in a CR300 Datalogger


Moletto-Lobos May 25, 2017 11:09 PM

Dear All,

I'm using a CR300 device, and i've connected a CS650 reflectometer using the Short Cut Program from Loggernet.
ShortCut recommends me wire using the following way:
RED - BAT +
GREEN - C1
ORANGE - G
BLACK - G
CLEAR - G

Once configured, i start to measure but doesn't measure data.
Any ideas?

My Regards,

Italo



PS:The code produced from Short Cut is the following:

 

'CR300 Series
'Created by Short Cut (3.2)

'Declare Variables and Units
Public BattV
Public PTemp_C

Alias CS65X(2)=EC
Alias CS65X(3)=T
Alias CS65X(4)=P
Alias CS65X(5)=PA
Alias CS65X(6)=VR

Units BattV=Volts
Units PTemp_C=Deg C
Units VWC=m^3/m^3
Units EC=dS/m
Units T=Deg C
Units P=unitless
Units PA=nSec

Is the sensor's SDI-12 address 0?  One way to find out is to go into datalogger's teminal and work through the sdi-12 talk through menu item.  Once in, issue the ?! and then hit Enter.  The sensor, if connected correctly, will return it's address.

Here are a couple of videos on using SDI-12 sensors: https://www.campbellsci.com/videos?show=&keywords=sdi-12+sensors&type= 

The one that covers "Transparent Mode" shows the steps Gary suggested.
