Meteorology
The CR800 series is used in long-term climatological
monitoring, meteorological research, and routine
weather measurement applications.
Sensors the CR800 series can measure include:
• cup, propeller, and sonic anemometers
• tipping bucket rain gauges
• wind vanes
• pyranometers
• ultrasonic ranging sensor
• thermistors, RTDs and thermocouples
• barometric pressure sensors
• RH sensors
Data is output in a choice of units (e.g., wind speed
in miles per hour, meters per second, or knots).
Standard outputs include wind vector averaging,
sigma, theta, and histograms.
Agriculture and Agricultural Research
The versatility of the CR800 and CR850 allows measure-
ment of agricultural processes and equipment in
applications such as:
• plant water research
• canopy energy balance
• machinery performance
• plant pathology
• crop management decisions
• food processing/storage
• frost prediction
• irrigation scheduling
• integrated pest management
Wind Proling
Our data acquisition systems can monitor conditions at
wind assessment sites, at producing wind farms, and along
transmission lines. The reliability of these systems ensures
data collection, even under adverse conditions. Wide
operating temperature ranges and weatherproof
enclosures allow our systems to operate reliably in
harsh environments.
The CR800 or CR850 makes and records measurements,
controls electrical devices, and can function as PLCs or
RTUs. Because the datalogger has its own power supply
(batteries, solar panels), it can continue to measure and
store data and perform control during power outages.
Typical sensors for wind assessment applications include,
but are not limited to:
• cup, propeller, and sonic anemometers
(up to 10 anemometers can be measured by
using two LLAC4 peripherals)
• wind vanes
• thermistors, RTDs, and thermocouples
• barometers
• pyranometers
For turbine performance applications, the CR800
series monitors electrical current, voltage, wattage,
stress, and torque.
Applications
The measurement precision, exibility, long-term reliability, and economical price of the CR800 and CR850 make them
ideal for scientic, commercial, and industrial applications.
