CS110

Electric Field Meter


The CS110 Electric Field Meter measures the vertical component of the atmospheric electric field. It is used in research applications for measuring the local electric field and for lightning warning applications. The CS110 uses a reciprocating shutter instead of the traditional rotating vane field mill, a feature that improves dc measurement performance, reliability, and reduces power consumption.

Features

  • Measurement made with reciprocating shutter instead of the traditional rotating vane field mill
  • Power requirements are low; 9.6 to 16 Vdc; peak-current demand is 750 mA during motor operation
  • Reliability: Ultra-reliable metallic ground connection of stator/rotor (no rotating contact)
  • CR1000 datalogger within the system provides flexibility for additional meteorological measurements, control, and network integration
  • Connectors are provided on the CS110 for attaching wind speed and direction, temperature and relative humidity, solar radiation, and rainfall sensors

Specifications

  • Accuracy: ±(1% of reading + 60 V m-1 offset)
  • Operating Range: -25° to 50°C standard, -55° to +85°C optional; 0 to 100% RH
