The CS110 Electric Field Sensor measures the vertical component of the atmospheric electric field at the earth's surface. These atmospheric electric field measurements are useful for assessing the local lightning hazard and for thunderstorm research.
The CS110 sensor is typically part of a larger electric field system; visit our corresponding systems page to learn more.
Features
Electric field measurement made with reciprocating shutter instead of the traditional rotating vane field mill
Power requirements are low; 9.6 to 16 Vdc; peak-current demand is 750 mA during motor operation
Reliability: Ultra-reliable metallic ground connection of stator/rotor (no rotating contact)
CR1000 datalogger within the system provides flexibility for additional meteorological measurements, control, and network integration
Connectors are provided on the CS110 for attaching wind speed and direction, temperature and relative humidity, solar radiation, and rainfall sensors
