Oregon Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer |
Davies Passive Radiation Shield |
The Thermo-Hygrometer's operating range is –58°F to 158°F with resolution of 0.2°F; humidity range is 2% to 96%RH with an accuracy resolution of 1%. Updating occurs every 37-seconds. The Thermo-Hygrometer is powered by a solar cell with battery backup. Oregon Instruments do not manufacture a radiation shield for this sensor so I have adapted a Davies Radiation Shield as follows
 |
 |
| Assembled up to a point | Aperture cut in base plates to accommodate sensor |
 |
 |
| Assembly continues | Mounted on the mast |
I trust that this will enable the station to record accurate air temperature readings by reducing, or eliminating, the effects of the sun upon the sensor.
