Detailed Description
The FW3's small mass eliminates the need for a solar radiation shield. It consists of a type E thermocouple with a connector. The connector attaches the thermocouple to a data logger via the FWC-L cable.
Type E thermocouples are comprised of a chromel wire and a constantan wire joined at a measurement junction. A voltage potential is generated when the measurement end of the thermocouple is at a different temperature than the reference end of the thermocouple. The magnitude of the voltage potential is related to the temperature difference. Therefore, temperature can be determined by measuring the differences in potential created at the junction of the two wires.

Additional Compatibility Information
Data Logger Considerations
The thermocouple connects to the data logger via the FWC cable. One differential analog input per sensor is required.
Reference Temperature Measurement
A reference temperature measurement is required. Options for measuring the reference temperature include:
- Thermistor built into the CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR3000, or CR5000 wiring panel
- PRT built into the wiring panel of the CR9050 or
- CR9051E input module for the CR9000X Measurement and Control Datalogger
- PRT内置于CR7测量和控制数据记录器的CR723T输入卡的接线面板中
- CR10xtcr热敏电阻连接到CR10x接线面板
Carrying Case
The FW/ENC Carrying Case is required to ship our FW3 thermocouples. It holds up to four thermocouples. Thermocouples returned to Campbell Scientific for repair without this case will be shipped to the customer in a new case and the account charged accordingly.

-
Most Campbell Scientific data loggers can measure a thermocouple without any external signal conditioning. Therefore, a dedicated module is not required.
-
No. The fine-wire thermocouples were designed to measure ambient air temperature.
