Sensors

The CRVW3 Vibrating Wire Datalogger is capable of measuring the most common vibrating wire sensors including, but not limited to, strain gages, piezometers, pressure transducers, tiltmeters, crackmeters, and load cells. The CRVW3 has three sensor inputs; each sensor input includes a vibrating wire sensor connection and a thermistor connection. The channels are easily configured for traditional sensors. Individual channels can be adjusted to read only the vibrating wire sensor, or they may be turned off completely.

Network Considerations

The CRVW3 can be ordered with several wireless communication options. The following table illustrates wireless communications compatibilities in terms of networks.

Enclosure Considerations

The CRVW3 comes in a package designed for field deployment. The electronics, battery, and electrical connections are all contained within the enclosure. The CRVW3 is supplied with a basic mounting kit, or a metal universal mounting bracket can be added to facilitate installation on a post or wall.

Power Considerations

The CRVW3 can be ordered with either a rechargeable battery or a D-cell alkaline battery pack. When the rechargeable battery is used, the CRVW3 can be easily wired to a solar panel, and the rechargeable battery will be charged using the built-in regulator on the CRVW3.

常见问题解答

CRVW3: 11

展开全部收起全部

  1. How quickly can a CRVW3 take measurements?

    The CRVW3 takes approximately 1 s to measure the vibrating wire sensor and thermistor. If all three channels are measuring sensors, the CRVW3 takes approximately 3 s to measure the sensors before it is ready to begin the cycle again.

  2. After the CRVW3 is ordered, can the power options be changed?

    Yes. The batteries can be switched at any time between the D-cell battery option and the rechargeable battery option.

  3. After the CRVW3 is ordered, can the communication options be changed?

    The communications options (such as –RF451) reflect how the CRVW3 is built during the manufacturing process. After a CRVW3 is ordered with a specific communications option, it retains that option. It is possible to turn off the wireless communications, and the CRVW3 can be deployed as a stand-alone data logger.

  4. Can the CRVW3 be deployed by itself?

    Yes. The CRVW3 can be used as a stand-alone data logger. If the CRVW3 is not connected to a network, data is collected by connecting directly to the CRVW3 (via USB) or through a simple wireless connection, as outlined in the manual.

  5. Does the CRVW3 have to communicate data after every measurement?

    No. The CRVW3 has built-in memory and can be configured in a variety of ways. It can measure data frequently and communicate the data at a slower rate (for example, measure every 10 minutes and communicate the results once per day). The CRVW3 can also communicate data after each measurement is taken.  The ability to configure the communications on a network to an application's specific needs allows the user to better manage the power consumption on the CRVW3, as well as on the base data logger.

  6. Can the CRVW3 be used with multiplexers?

    No. The CRVW3 is designed to be a simple, quickly deployed system with minimal modifications. The simple design of the CRVW3 does not enable it for use with multiplexers. When an application requires multiplexers, consider using a CR6 Measurement and Control Datalogger instead.

  7. What needs to be done before installing a CRVW3?

    Not much. The CRVW3 needs to be configured, installed, and wired at the site. These steps have been outlined in the Quick Deploy guide that ships with the CRVW3 and is also available for download on this website. The manual is a more detailed resource to address any installation questions.

  8. Can the CRVW3 communicate with other data loggers?

    Yes. The CRVW3 is a PakBus device that can communicate with other PakBus data loggers. The neighbor data logger requires a radio device compatible with the CRVW3 radio option. If a CRVW3-RF451 model is used, the neighbor device needs to have an RF450 or RF451 radio installed to enable wireless communications. After connecting to the first neighbor, PakBus routing can be used to reach other PakBus devices available to that neighbor via any type of active communications link (TCP/IP, WiFi, etc.) Network Planner is a tool within LoggerNet used to design a network and explore how devices communicate.

  9. How does the CRVW3 communicate the data?

    There are multiple communication options depending on how the CRVW3 is ordered. All CRVW3 devices can communicate data and be configured using the built-in USB connection. If a CRVW3 is ordered with a wireless communication option, it can also communicate the data wirelessly to a PC or another data logger.

  10. How many AM16/32B multiplexers can be connected to a data logger at the same time?

    A practical maximum is to connect one multiplexer per every two control terminals on the data logger. Control terminals can be shared between multiplexers to increase the number of connected multiplexers. Sharing terminals, however, requires more complex wiring and programming. Users who would like to connect more than one multiplexer per every two control terminals are advised to contact a sales or support engineer at Campbell Scientific for assistance.
