CCS Constant Current Power Supply for Ecomatik Sap Flow Sensors
Constant Current Source (CCS) for 3 Sap Flow Sensors (SF-L or SF-G or mixed). One CCS supplies up to 3 sensors and consumes 1 W (12 V x 84 mA DC, stabilized).
The function of CCS constant current power supply is to supply 84 mA constant current to the sensors.
This constant current is necessary to keep a constant energy input to the sensor and a current control is much more precise than by using a voltage control .
Power supply: Irrespective of whether 1, 2 or 3 SL-G sensors are connected, the constant current source consumes about 100 mA.
Note: In case you use a car battery as power source, e.g. a 50-Amper-Hour battery may last 10 days.
