About Sensors

Campbell Scientific Australia carries a wide range of weather sensors, environmental & geotechnical sensors designed for long-term installation under adverse environmental conditions.   We choose to sell only the highest quality sensors, which provide accurate, reliable measurements for your system year after year.   Our range includes popular brands such as RM Young, Apogee, Vaisala, Licor and Kipp & Zonen to name just a few.

Campbell data loggers also interface with most third party sensors, which can be sourced either by our team or by the user. Our loggers have many channel types and programmable inputs, enabling them to measure most commercially available sensors. Sensors that output voltage, pulse, SDI-12, RS-232, or 4-20 mA signals can be read using the data logger's analog (single-ended and differential), pulse counter, SDI-12, RS-232, continuous analog output, digital I/O, anti-aliasing filter, and switched excitation channels.
