5980 Radiation Shield
Met One Radiation Shields reduce errors in temperature and relative humidity measurements that are caused by direct solar radiation. They are constructed of a series of white aluminum concentric plates, which allow air flow to pass through the shield, while blocking direct solar rays. This shielding minimizes the effects of solar and terrestrial radiation and provides accurate measurements.
Features
- Accommodates RH and temperature sensors
- Requires no power
- Easily mounted
Operation
The Model 073B and 5980 Radiation Shields are designed for use with the 064 Temperature Sensors or the 083E Temperature/Relative Humidity Sensors.
