The CPEC310 with EasyFlux®is a turn-key, closed-path eddy-covariance (EC) flux system for long-term monitoring of atmospheric-biosphere exchanges of carbon dioxide, water vapor, heat, and momentum. A complete system consists of a closed-path gas analyzer (EC155 closed-path gas analyzer), sonic anemometer (CSAT3A sonic anemometer), data logger (CR6 datalogger), sample pump, three-valve module that enables automatic zero and CO2span measurements (manual H2O span), and accommodations for a CDM-A116 analog input expansion module allowing for additional sensors.
气体分析仪的专利涡摄入设计(United States Patent No. 9,217,692) and small sample cell volume (5.9 mL) provide a much lower flow rate than other closed-path systems while maintaining excellent frequency response (4.3 Hz cutoff frequency). Additionally, this design makes the system virtually maintenance free while still maintaining an ideal frequency response compared to traditional inline filters. Lower flow allows the CPEC310 to have one of the lowest total system power requirements (12 W) of any closed-path eddy covariance system. Campbell Scientific manufactures all components of the CPEC310, including the data logger and EasyFlux®DL software for computing and correcting fluxes, which gives our system the most reliable functionality.

The gas analyzer’s small sample cell volume (5.9 mL) minimizes the sample residence time (50 ms at the system’s nominal flow rate, 7 LPM). This gives excellent frequency response (5.8 Hz half-power bandwidth) with low total system power (12 W).
CO2and H2O are measured with an EC155 Closed-Path Gas Analyzer. Three-dimensional wind speed and sonic air temperature are measured with a CSAT3A sonic anemometer head.
The CPEC310 has two enclosures: a fiberglass enclosure that houses the CR6 datalogger, pump module, three-valve module, and optional CDM-A116, and the EC100 enclosure for data processing. The CPEC310 can also be equipped with a scrub module for automatic zeroing of the EC155.
The pump module, a standard component of the CPEC310 system, consists of a small dual-head diaphragm pump with a brushless dc motor mounted inside a fiberglass enclosure. An integral cable connects the pump module to the CPEC310 system enclosure, which provides power, temperature measurement and control, pressure measurement, and pumping speed measurement and control.

This download is for the CR6 datalogger. Execution of this download places the Operating System file(.obj) on your computer. It also updates the CRBasic Editor compiler and support files.
Why Update?Along with new features and bug fixes, this OS contains a changes related to WebSocket's, GOES, FileManage() and MQTT.With this OS update it is recommended that you also update theDevice Configuration Utilityto the most recent version so that new datalogger features are available in the utility.
Note:Campbell Scientific always recommends updating operating systems on site if possible. When remote updates are required, it is recommended that you implement the necessary precautions to handle unexpected OS upload complications. All datalogger settings should be retained when updated remotely. If you choose to roll back to a previous operating system, the datalogger settings will be reset to default.

No. A valve module is required to use the Scrub Module. Only the CPEC310 comes with a valve module.
Yes. For more information, refer to the "CPEC200 Scrub Module Installation, Operation and Maintenance" appendix in theCPEC200 Closed-Path Eddy-Covariance System Instruction Manual.
The molecular sieve is a non-hazardous material that can be shipped to any country.
The molecular sieve is a direct replacement for the old magnesium perchlorate bottles. The molecular sieve may be used for any Campbell Scientific analyzer that used the old bottles.
The molecular sieve has been demonstrated here by our engineering department to be effective at removing CO2and H2O from the air sample. The change was made for two reasons:
The bottles of sieve for drop-in replacement contain the pellets and a membrane on top. The membrane is necessary to keep the pellets contained while allowing gas to pass over the zeolite. The bottle has the same footprint as the old magnesium perchlorate bottles. The amount in each bottle is listed on the bottle. The amount of sieve needed for each analyzer is the following:
