long lead lengths_CR3000


Christian May 24, 2012 09:14 AM

I would like to have more information about long lead lengths. We are going to do an experiment where the instruments will be at a distance of about 50 meters from CR300 datalogger. These instruments are:

- Campbell 03102VM 3-cup anemometer
- Young 05103 anemometer
- Setra CS100 Barometer
- Vaisala HMP45A Hygrometer
- Thermometer Thies Clima
- CSAT32 sonic anemometer (there are details in the manual about determining of settling time)

What do you suggest about long lead lenths? Our sampling will be at 1 sec.

- VoltDiff channels instead of single-ended?
- increasing the wire gage?
- shielded cable?
- SW12V instead of 12V for some of the instruments?
- increasing the settling time?

How can I calculate the distortion of the voltage output, as there is a long distance between instrument and datalogger?

Thank you.
