Ambient Temperature & Humidity Sensor
Air temperature and relative humidity with passive or fan-aspirated radiation shield.
Overview
The temperature and humidity sensor measures relative humidity and air temperature, and comes with a passive solar radiation shield or a 24-hour fan-aspirated radiation shield.
The passive shield is made of a proprietary plastic designed for high thermal reflectance and low thermal conductivity. The 24-hour shield includes a solar- and battery-powered fan that pulls air up through the shield and over the sensors for the highest temperature accuracy.
