Product Overview
Campbell Scientific CR10X Measurement and Control Module - a modular data logger built around the CR10X system architecture. The unit includes the aluminum core module and wiring panel No. 13349. The wiring panel provides 12 single-ended or 6 differential analog input channels, 3 voltage excitation outputs (E1-E3), 8 digital control ports (C1-C8), 2 pulse counters (P1-P2), 5V and switched 12V outputs, a 12V power input terminal block, an earth ground screw terminal, and a 9-pin serial D-sub female connector for RS-232 communications. The CR10X is programmable using Campbell Scientific software including Edlog, Short Cut, LoggerNet, and PC208W, and supports a range of communication options including direct serial, modem, radio telemetry, and satellite peripherals. Power requirement is 9.6 to 16 Vdc.

Applications
- Connecting wind speed, temperature, humidity, precipitation, soil moisture, and solar radiation sensors for long-term autonomous field deployments at remote environmental monitoring stations
- Programming scan intervals and data averaging routines for hydrological or meteorological research campaigns where data must be collected unattended for months at a time
- Integrating into existing industrial process control setups to monitor flow, strain, or voltage and trigger control outputs such as valve actuators or fan switches based on measured thresholds
- Maintaining and extending legacy Campbell Scientific monitoring networks where a CR10X replacement keeps an existing installation running without requiring a full platform migration
- Teaching sensor wiring, Edlog programming, and data acquisition fundamentals in university instrumentation or environmental engineering lab courses
Frequently Asked Questions
What wiring panel is included with this unit?
Wiring panel No. 13349 is installed. This panel provides the full analog input, excitation, digital control, pulse counter, power, and serial I/O terminal complement described in the product overview.
What software is required to program and communicate with the CR10X?
Campbell Scientific programming software is required - compatible options include Edlog, Short Cut, LoggerNet, and PC208W. A Campbell Scientific RS-232 communication interface (such as the SC32A or SC32B) is also needed to connect the CR10X to a computer via the 9-pin serial port.
What power source does the CR10X require?
The CR10X requires a 9.6 to 16 Vdc power source, typically a 12V battery. The wiring panel No. 13349 includes a dedicated 12V power input terminal block.
Is the internal lithium battery included and under warranty?
The unit includes its internal lithium battery for clock and SRAM backup. Campbell Scientific does not provide a warranty on internal batteries, so buyers should plan to verify or replace the battery as part of recommissioning this unit.
Is the firmware version confirmed?
The chassis label confirms firmware copyright years of 1983, 1986, and 1995. The specific installed operating system version is not confirmed. The CR10X supports array-based, table, Pakbus, Modbus, and ALERT operating systems, and the installed OS affects data storage format and communication options. Buyers should verify the installed OS before deployment.
The CR10X shipped to research stations and field sites that most data acquisition hardware never reaches. Serial number X07763 has its own history - now it is ready to log the next one.
