Waterproof DS18B20 Digital Temperature Sensor (SKU:DFR0198)

This document provides information about a waterproof digital temperature sensor based on the DS18B20 chip. Key details include that it can measure temperatures from -55 to 125 degrees C, connects with one wire plus ground, has an accuracy of ±0.5 degrees from -10 to 85 degrees C, and includes sample Arduino code to read temperatures from the sensor. Multiple sensors can be used on the same data line due to each having a unique ID. The sensor connects with a 4.7K resistor and requires 3.0-5.5V power.

Introduction

This is a waterproofed version of the DS18B20 Arduino Temperature sensor. Handy for when you
need to measure something far away, or in wet conditions. While the sensor is good up to 125 the
cable is jacketed in PVC so we suggest keeping it under 100 . Because they are digital, you don't
get any signal degradation even over long distances! The DS18B20 provides 9 to 12-bit
(configurable) temperature readings over a 1-Wire interface, so that only one wire (and ground)
needs to be connected from a central microprocessor.Usable with 3.0-5.5V systems.
Because each DS18B20 contains a unique silicon serial number, multiple DS18B20s can exist on
the same 1-Wire bus. This allows for placing temperature sensors in many different places.
Applications where this feature is useful include HVAC environmental controls, sensing
temperatures inside buildings,equipment or machinery, and process monitoring and control.

Sensor Connection

This sensor requires a 4.7K Ohm resistor between the voltage and Signal pin. as seen in the picture
below. Optionally you can use a Plugable Terminal sensor adapter to help in making this connection
secure.
Sample Code

Sample code for Arduino 1.0 and above.

#include <OneWire.h>

int DS18S20_Pin = 2; //DS18S20 Signal pin on digital 2

//Temperature chip i/o


OneWire ds(DS18S20_Pin); // on digital pin 2

void setup(void) {
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop(void) {
float temperature = getTemp();
Serial.println(temperature);

delay(100); //just here to slow down the output so it is easier to read

float getTemp(){
//returns the temperature from one DS18S20 in DEG Celsius

byte data[12];
byte addr[8];

if ( !ds.search(addr)) {
//no more sensors on chain, reset search
ds.reset_search();
return -1000;
}
if ( OneWire::crc8( addr, 7) != addr[7]) {
Serial.println("CRC is not valid!");
return -1000;
}

if ( addr[0] != 0x10 && addr[0] != 0x28) {


Serial.print("Device is not recognized");
return -1000;
}

ds.reset();
ds.select(addr);
ds.write(0x44,1); // start conversion, with parasite power on at the end

byte present = ds.reset();


ds.select(addr);
ds.write(0xBE); // Read Scratchpad

for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++) { // we need 9 bytes


data[i] = ds.read();
}

ds.reset_search();

byte MSB = data[1];


byte LSB = data[0];

float tempRead = ((MSB << 8) | LSB); //using two's compliment


float TemperatureSum = tempRead / 16;

return TemperatureSum;
}
