Input Output Terminals
Analog Inputs
Three dierential (6 single-ended) channels measure
voltage levels. Resolution on the most sensitive range
is 0.67 μV..
Pulse Counters
Two pulse channels can count pulses from high level
(5 V square wave), switch closure, or low level AC signals.
Switched Voltage Excitations
Two outputs provide precision excitation voltages for
resistive bridge measurements.
Digital I/O Ports
Four ports are provided for frequency measurements,
digital control, and triggering. Three of these ports can
also be used to measure SDM devices. The I/O ports
can be paired as transmit and receive. Each pair has
0 to 5 V UART hardware that allows serial
communications with serial sensors and devices. An
RS232-tologic level converter may be required in some
cases.
CS I/O Port
AC-powered PCs and many communication peripherals
connect with the datalogger via this port. Connection
to an AC-powered PC requires either an SC32B or SC-USB
interface. These interfaces isolate the PC’s electrical
system from the datalogger, thereby protecting against
ground loops, normal static discharge, and noise.
RS-232 Port
This non-isolated port is for connecting a battery
powered laptop, serial sensor, or RS-232 modem.
Because of ground loop potential on some
measurements (e.g., low level single-ended measure-
ments), AC-powered PCs should use the CS I/O port
instead of the RS-232 port (see above).
Switched 12 Volt
This terminal provides unregulated 12 V that can be
switched on and o under program control.
Communication Protocols
The CR800 series supports the PakBus, Modbus, and
DNP3 communication protocols. With the PakBus
protocol, networks have the distributed routing intelligence
to continually evaluate links. Continually
evaluating links optimizes delivery times and, in the
case of delivery failure, allows automatic switch over to
a congured backup route.
The Modbus RTU protocol supports both oating
point and long formats. The datalogger can act as a
slave and/or master.
The DNP3 protocol supports only long data formats.
The dataloggers are level 2 slave compliant, with some
of the operations found in a level 3 implementation.
Transient Protection
Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) protects the inputs from
electrical transients. The CR800 series is CE compliant
under the European Union’s EMC Directive, meeting
ESD, EMC, Fast Transient standards.
Enclosure/Stack Bracket
A CR800 or CR850 housed in a weather-resistant enclosure
can collect data under extremely harsh conditions. The en-
closure protects the datalogger from dust, water, sunlight, or
pollutants.
The 17565 Stack Bracket allows a small peripheral to be
placed under the mounting bracket, thus conserving space.
With the bracket, a CR800 or CR850 can can be attached in
a “horizontal” orientation in an ENC10/12 enclosure (i.e., the
long axis of the CR1000 spanning the short axis of the enclo-
sure).
Power Supplies
Any 12-Vdc source can power the CR800-series dataloggers; a
PS100 or BPALK is typically used. The PS100 provides a 7-Ahr
sealed rechargeable battery that should be connected to a
charging source (either a wall charger or solar panel). The
BPALK consists of eight non-rechargeable D-cell alkaline bat-
teries with a 7.5-Ahr rating at 20°C.
Also available are the BP12 and BP24 battery packs, which
provide nominal ratings of 12 and 24 Ahrs, respectively.
These batteries should be connected to a regulated charging
source (e.g., a CH100 connected to a unregulated solar panel
or wall charger).
The CR800 series
can operate for
up to one year
using the PS100
power supply,
depending on
scan rate, number
of sensors, data
retrieval method,
and external
temperature.
