Overview
The CS100 measures barometric pressure for the range of 600 to 1100 hPa (mBar). This range equates to from below sea level (as in a mine) up to 12,000 feet above sea level. Designed for use in environmental applications, the CS100 is compatible with all Campbell Scientific data loggers.
Key Advantages
Resides inside a weather-proof enclosure
Technical Description
The CS100 is a Campbell Scientific version of Setra's model 278 barometer. It uses Setra’s Setraceram capacitive sensor and IC analog circuit to measure barometric pressure. The CS100 iincludes a 0.76 m (2.5 ft) cable and a terminal strip for data logger power and signal connections.
The CS100 is encased in a stainless-steel and polyester case fitted with an 1/8 in. barbed fitting for pressure connection. It includes an internal switching circuit that allows the data logger to power the barometer only during measurement, which reduces power usage.
Benefits
- Optimized to mount in Campbell Scientific enclosures
- Low power consumption
- Three-year warranty
- 500 to 1100 hPa (mBar) and 800 to 1100 hPa (mBar) versions also available by special order—contact Campbell Scientific
- Integral switching circuit limits power consumption to measurement cycle

Data Logger Considerations
A 2.5-ft cable is supplied with the sensor for connection to the data logger. The cable connects to a control port, single-ended analog input terminal, 12 V power terminal, and ground terminal on the data logger.
Mounting
The CS100 is typically mounted next to the data logger inside an ENC12/14 or larger enclosure. The very small ENC100 is available for housing the CS100 separately, in its own enclosure.
