Common Accessories
16764 CSAT3 or CSAT3A Carrying Case
The 16764 provides a rigid carrying case for CSAT3s that will be transported frequently. Please note that a foam insert is not included. Foam is required to transport the CSAT3. However, each CSAT3 is shipped in foam. Therefore, you will get the foam if the 16764 is ordered at the same time as the CSAT3. If you need both the carrying case and foam, order the 16763 (see replacement parts).

10080 CSAT3 TC Cover
The 10080 Thermocouple Cover is placed over the Omega-brand thermocouple connectors and is used to mount the connectors to the side of the CSAT3 head. It also minimizes temperature gradients across the connectors.
FW05 Type E Fine Wire TC, 0.0005 inch Dia (Requires FW/ENC)
At least two FW05 thermocouples per CSAT3 are needed; four are recommended. The FW05 consists of a 0.0005" diameter, type E thermocouple mounted on a stainless steel bayonet. This thermocouple features a simplified junction design over its predecessor, the FWTC05. The FW05's measurement junction resembles that of the 127 thermocouple, used with CA27. The FW/ENC carry case is required (see below).
FW/ENC Fine Wire Carrying Case (holds four FWs)
An FW/ENC Fine Wire Carrying Case is required to ship or carry the fine wire thermocouples. The case can house up to four FW05s.
FWC-L Connector Cable for Fine Wire TCs
An FWC-L Connector Cable is required for each FW05 ordered. A 35-foot cable length (i.e., FWC-L35) is recommended; four feet of this cable should be bundled inside of the enclosure to minimize heat conduction on the terminal strips. The remaining 31 feet is for mounting the FW05 onto the side of the CSAT3 head.

Services
16554 CSAT3 Standard Recalibration w/o CMM & w/o Documentation
The 16554 provides calibration over the CSAT3's operating temperature range without using the coordinate measurement machine (CMM); the CMM is used on the CSAT3 at time of original purchase. During recalibration, Campbell Scientific determines if the geometry of the heads has changed since original manufacture. If so, the 16555 Calibration with a CMM is required. In all cases, factory recalibration requires an RMA (Returned Material Authorization).
16555 CSAT3 Recalibration w/ CMM & w/o Documentation
The 16555 includes calibration over the CSAT3's operating temperature range and coordinate measurement of transducer positions in space relative to the bubble mounting surface. A coordinate measurement machine (CMM) is used for this process. CMM measurement is performed on the CSAT3 at time of original purchase. This recalibration option (instead of the 16554) is required if the geometry of the heads has changed since original manufacture. In all cases, factory recalibration requires an RMA (Returned Material Authorization).
17199 CSAT3 Rain Upgrade To 4.0 & Recalibration w/o Documentation
The 17199 includes an embedded code upgrade to version 4.0 and installation of a wicking system to minimize accumulation of water droplets on the face of the CSAT2. Both changes improve the performance of the CSAT3 Sonic Anemometer in rainy conditions. Requires RMA; contact the factory for details.
26513 CSAT3 to CSAT3A Sonic Head Conversion & Recalibration w/o CMM
This service converts a CSAT3 to a CSAT3A. The CSAT3A is designed to interface directly with the EC150 and EC155 gas analyzers. The analyzer mounts on the CSAT3A, and the CSAT3A shares the EC100 control module of the gas analyzer. This service also provides calibration over the sensor's operating temperature range without using the CMM.
