Note X-320 Environmental Sensor Compatibility

Rev: B Date: 23 Feb 2011 Author: Eugene Bodrero Last Update: 08 Feb 2012

Summary
The sensors listed in this document have been evaluated for compatibility with the X-320 inputs. The qualification level of the sensors is assigned one of the following ranks. P = Preliminary Review of publicly available data indicates compatibility. Data may not include slope and detailed electrical interface specifications. D = Data sheet evaluation Detailed review of electrical interface parameters. Slope and offset parameters are given if indicated in data sheet information. B = Bench tested Evaluation units have been electrically connected to the X-320 and operated. Full slope, offset, and any special electrical connections are given in the table or are available from Xytronix. F = Field tested Sensor has been connected to the X-320 and has been operated for an extended period of time in a field environment. Desired sensors may use the same output mode, such as 0-5 V analog output. Users are responsible for selecting the appropriate sensors for their application and ensuring that the appropriate numbers of inputs or outputs are available. The X-320 has four analog inputs, 2 counter inputs, and one frequency input. Some environmental sensors combine multiple functions such as wind speed and wind direction. These sensors typically have separate outputs for each function. Consequently, they are listed in multiple tables for each function such as Wind Speed and Anemometer sections.
