CS205为中空的西黄松木销,用于模拟森林地表相似大小的断枝的温度。将107温度探头插入CS205的中间销孔里,测量得到可燃物的温度。CS205/107的组合用于评估森林可燃物的火险程度,经常被包含在我们的预接线的或定制的防火气象站中。
CS205的西黄松木销符合美国林业服务规范,但在一端钻有一个孔。建议每年春季更换一次CS205;在某些环境中可能需要更换更频繁(例如:雨季/旱季循环更多的地区)。CS205在野外非常容易更换,使用十字螺丝刀和活动扳手就可以。

The CS205 10-hour Fuel Temperature Stick is used with the 107 or 107-LC thermistor. The 107-LC has a connector that allows it to be attached to our ET107, ET106 (retired), or MetData1 (retired) weather stations.
The CS205/107 combination is typically measured alongside the CS506/26601 combination, which measures fuel moisture. The CS205/107 combination can also be used with the retired CS505 fuel moisture sensor and 10824 fuel moisture stick.
The 26817 Mounting Stake is often used to mount the CS205/107 with the CS506/26601. This stake places the probes twelve inches above the forest floor. Because the probes are mounted parallel to each other, shadowing is minimized. Cable ties are included for securing the cables to the side of the stake.
The 10974 Mounting Stake is used to mount the CS205/107 with the CS505/10824.

For descriptions and illustrations (with part numbers) of the various instruments used in measuring fuel temperature and moisture, see the "Remote Measurements" brochure.
Both the 26601 10-Hour Fuel Moisture Stick (used with the CS506-L) and the CS205 10-Hour Fuel Temperature Stick (used with the 107-L) can be easily replaced in the field with a Phillips screwdriver and an adjustable wrench.
The dowels should be replaced each spring; more frequent replacements may be required in some environments. The more wet/dry cycles the dowels experience, the more frequently they will need to be replaced.
