CS450/CS455 Pressure Transducer
7.1 Every Visit
• Collect data
• Visually inspect wiring and physical conditions
• Check indicating desiccant or enclosure humidity indicator; service if
necessary
• Check battery condition (inspect physical appearance and use a keyboard
display, PDA, or laptop to view the battery voltage)
• Check all sensor readings: adjust transducer offsets if necessary
• Check recent data
7.2 Every Two to Three Years or on a Rotating Schedule
• Send the CS450/CS455 in for inspection and have them served and
or/replaced as needed.
8. Troubleshooting
The most common causes for erroneous pressure transducer data include:
• poor sensor connections to the datalogger
• damaged cables
• damaged transducers
• moisture in the vent tube
Problem:
Unit will not respond when attempting serial communications.
Suggestion:
Check the power (Red is +V and Black is Ground) and signal (White is SDI-12
Data) lines to ensure proper connection to the logger. Check the logger
program to ensure that the same port the SDI-12 data line is connected to is
specified in the measurement instruction.
Problem:
Transducer appears to be operating properly but data shows a periodic or
cyclic fluctuation not attributable to water level changes.
