Ambient Weather SRS100LX Temperature and Humidity Solar Radiation Shield
Ambient Weather SRS100LX Temperature and Humidity Solar Radiation Shield
Product Description
The SRS100LX temperature and humidity radiation shield is a low expense solution for protecting temperature and relative humidity sensors. It consists of nine molded plastic plates and an UV inhibited ABS plastic mounting arm. The wedge-shaped plates provide maximum airflow about the sensor though at the same time minimizing direct exposure to sunlight. The passive shield is shaped to allow natural air convection about the sensor so that the air temperature inside the shield is a superior representation of the outside air. The shield also gives protection from rain and snow. The SRS100LX radiation shield fits most temperature and humidity sensors sold by Ambient Climate. Order the SRS100 for smaller sensor installations (reference dimensions beneath). The SRS100LX is developed with a extremely reflective white surface to reflect the sun's direct radiation. The multi-plate style permits for maximum airflow. The UV inhibited ABS plastic mounting arm can be mounted to any vertical surface. U-Bolts are included to mount to any pole. Compatible Sensors: RTGR328NA, TX50U-IT, TX13U, TX6U, TX7U, TX4U, TX18U, TX8U, TX9U, WS2010-22, WS2010-25, WS2010-28, WS2310-25, TX21U-IT, TX25U-IT, TX27U-IT, TX28U-IT, TX29U-IT, TX37U-IT, TX29UDTH-IT, TX22U-IT, and other sensors from various manufacturers are also compatible with the SRS100 Some sensors require the removal of mounting bracket or aesthetic covers to fit within the inner cavity of the SRS100 (WxLxH): 2.five" x 4.3" x 7.four".

Buyer Reviews
Following years of unreliable temperature readings given that of the sun I had resigned myself to constructing an enclosure out of wooden shutters. On a lark I searched on the net and found this Radiation sheild. It was a breeze to assemble and now my temperature sensor is delivering an correct reading when it is in the sun.
The entire point of getting external temperature sensors is to acquire accurate outside temperature readings. With the vibrant sun shining on your temperature sensor and heating up the plastic, the temperature readings will be ten-15 degrees greater or way more than actual. I bought this to house a Honeywell C7089U1006 Outdoor Temperature Sensor [Misc.] for my Honeywell YTH9421C1002 VisionPRO IAQ Technique, and mounted the whole issue to a pole. Instructions were clear and all needed hardware was supplied.
I did transform the mounting configuration from the advised way. I had originally installed it with the plastic mounting bracket oriented in the image (with the inside corner, exactly where the two angles meet, facing up). The weight of the shield pulled the bracket down causing it to sag. I flipped the mounting bracket upside down so that the inside corner of the mounting bracket is facing down, which appears much more stable. Plus, the reinforced area positioned in the inside corner of the bracket make me consider this was the intended orientation. This does put the bracket-to-wall surface of the bracket beneath the best of the shield, so if you program to screw this into a wall or fence post, the shield may be in the way. I installed it onto a pole with U-bolts, so this was not a predicament for me.
Edit: It appears that the item picture has been updated to show the bracket oriented in the way I described it in the preceding paragraph.
