Technische Beschreibung
The CS547A measures temperature with a thermistor. Electrical conductivity (EC) is measured with three cylindrical stainless-steel electrodes mounted in an epoxy housing. The electrode configuration eliminates ground loop problems associated with sensors in electrical contact with earth ground. The electrodes are ac coupled, and the datalogger applies a bipolar excitation. This process reduces electrochemical reactions, minimizes corrosion, and extends the probe’s life.
The CS547A is easy to clean and resistant to corrosion. It has rounded ends to facilitate installation and removal. The CS547A is shipped with a cell constant calibrated in a 0.01 molal KCl solution at 25°C. The solution has an EC of 1.408 mS cm-1.

Data Logger Considerations
The A547 Interface is required for connecting the probe to the data logger. This interface contains the blocking capacitors and bridge completion resistors necessary for the conductivity measurement.
A 3-ft cable is shipped with the sensor to connect the A547 to the data logger terminals. The CS547A requires one differential analog input, one single-ended analog input, and two excitation channels. One excitation channel must be capable of delivering ac excitation, so the BDR301 or BDR320 are NOT compatible.
Using Multiple CS547A Conductivity Probes
Special considerations apply when two or more CS547A probes will be measured by a single data logger.
A CR510 cannot be used to measure two probes because it does not provide sufficient (three) excitation channels.
Although it is acceptable for the two thermistors to share an excitation channel, each conductivity measurement requires a dedicated excitation channel. If excitation for the conductivity measurement were to be shared from a common excitation channel, both solutions would become polarized and once excitation was removed, some charge could be transferred from one solution to the other making the measurements interdependent on one another. If more than two CS547A probes are to be measured, then an AM16/32-series multiplexer is required.
Multiplexers
If more than two CS547A probes are to be measured, then an AM16/32-series multiplexer is required. In this scenario, each probe is wired to the multiplexer and one A547 interface is wired between the multiplexer and the data logger. If the system were maximized, up to sixteen CS547As could be connected to the multiplexer. However, because the A547 becomes a part of the measurement circuit for all connections to the multiplexer, only CS547A probes could be connected to the multiplexer (i.e., it is not possible to mix other sensor types with the CS547As attached to the multiplexer).

CS547a Program Examples for CR1000X and CR1000 Data Loggers v.1 (7 KB) 24-02-2022
Four programs are included: two CR1000X programs and two CR1000 programs. The first CR1000X and CR1000 programs measure the sensor and correct for cable resistance, EC ionization, and temperature. These programs use constants for KC (printed on the sensor label), cable length, and temperature coefficient (see manual). These values should be changed to fit your sensor. Also included are a CR1000X and a CR1000 program for calibrating the sensor. Newer data loggers such as the CR6 are programmed similarly to the CR1000X. Older data loggers such as the CR800-series and CR3000 are programmed similarly to the CR1000.

Yes. Each CS547A-L is shipped with a pn 7785, 4-inch Nylon brush.
-
The readings will be accurate for the sample of water inside the cavity, but that may or may not be indicative of the overall conductivity of the well. Flowing water allows a more representative measurement over time.
-
An analog voltage signal of no more than 2500 mVdc.
-
Position the CS547A-L so that it is protected during high flow but remains submerged at base flow. Orient the measurement cavity parallel to the water flow.
-
The CS547A-L has a built-in thermistor that is used for this purpose.
-
If the measurement cavity is kept clean, ephemeral conditions should not affect the reading.
-
The units of conductivity are mS/cm or millisiemens per cm.
-
Two CS547A-L sensors can be wired directly to one CR1000. One A547 interface is needed for each sensor, unless a multiplexer is used. A multiplexer switches all sensors through one A547 interface.
The CS547A instruction manual offers this warning: "Wire the conductivity excitation and temperature excitation lines in different excitation ports or measurement errors will occur. If multiple CS547A/A547s are wired to one data logger, each conductivity excitation must use a separate excitation port. However, you can wire multiple temperature excitation lines into the same excitation port."
-
One A547 interface is needed for each CS547A-L, unless a multiplexer is used. A multiplexer is capable of switching up to 16 CS547A-L sensors through one A547 interface.
