CS451 Stainless-Steel Pressure Transducer Campbell Scientific

Campbell Scientific offers a variety of sensors to measure water level, stage, and flow: pressure transducers, shaft encoders, radar ranging sensors, sonic ranging sensors, and bubblers. Users often select their sensors based on the site location, required accuracy level, and ease of installation.

Overview

The CS451 is a pressure transducer with a a stainless-steel case. It is used for water-level measurements and can be submerged in most canals, wells, ponds, lakes, and streams. The CS451 outputs either a digital SDI-12 or RS-232 signal to indicate observed pressure and temperature. This output can be read by many of our data loggers.

The CS451 replaces the CS450 transducer. The new transducers have a smaller gap between the water ports and the diaphragm so that less air is trapped that the user must remove during deployment. Trapped air causes the transducer's readings to drift as the air slowly dissolves into the water.
