CR3000

Sensors

With several channel types, the CR3000 is compatible with nearly every available sensor, including thermocouples, SDI-12 sensors, and 4 to 20 mA sensors. A custom ASIC chip expands its pulse count, control port, and serial communications capabilities. The CR3000's I/O ports can be paired as transmit and receive, allowing serial communications with serial sensors and devices.

Measurement & Control Peripherals

The CR3000 is compatible with all of our contemporary SDMs, multiplexers, vibrating wire interfaces, terminal input modules, and relays. 

Communications

The CR3000 communicates with a PC via direct connect, Ethernet interfaces (NL100, NL115, NL120), multidrop modems, short-haul modems, phone modems (land line, digital cellular, and voice-synthesized), RF telemetry, and satellite transmitters (Argos, High Data Rate GOES, and Meteosat).

Data can be viewed on its onboard keyboard display, CD295 DataView II Display, Archer-PCon Field PC, or a user-supplied PDA (PConnect or PConnectCE software required).

Compatible external data storage devices are the CFM100, NL115, and SC115.

Enclosures

The CR3000 can be housed in an ENC12/14, ENC14/16, or ENC16/18 enclosure.

Power Supplies

The CR3000 is typically powered by its on-board alkaline or rechargeable power supply (see Ordering Info). When the rechargeable power supply is used, its internal 7-Ahr sealed rechargeable battery needs be charged via a vehicle (requires the DCDC18R), solar panel, or ac wall charger.

The CR3000 can also come with a low-profile base that requires a user-supplied dc source. It is preferred when the system’s power consumption needs a larger capacity battery or when it’s advantageous for the Micrologger to be thinner and lighter.

Software

CRBasic, the CR3000's full programming language,  supports simple or complex programming and many on-board data reduction processes. Compatible software includes:

• Short Cut
• PC200W
• PC400 (version 1.3 or higher)
• LoggerNet (version 3.2 or higher)
• RTDAQ (version 1.0 or higher)
• PConnect (version 3.2 or higher)
• PConnectCE (version 2.1 or higher)
• VisualWeather (version 2.0 or higher)
