Frequently Asked Questions

Number of FAQs related to 255-200: 2

  1. What is the average power consumption of the 255-100 Evaporation Gauge?

    The 255-100 Evaporation Gauge is a potentiometer-type sensor. The 255-100 only draws a few milliamps of power momentarily. If the 255-100 is the only sensor in the system, the data logger has an average power draw of approximately 1 mA.

  2. If the 255-100 Evaporation Gauge is not listed as a sensor in Short Cut, how can the sensor be configured?

    The Half Bridge instruction should be selected (not the 3 Wire or 4 Wire options) in Short Cut. The following parameters are data logger specific, but the following can be used on the CR1000 datalogger with the sensor wired to SE1, and Vx1:

    How many HalfBr Sensors?          1
    Total Bridge Resistance 1000 ohm
