380-280 Solar Radiation Shield

The 380-280 Solar Radiation Shield is a low cost solution for protecting temperature and relative humidity probes. It consists of four molded plastic plates and a powder coated aluminum mounting arm. The wedge-shaped plates provide maximum airflow around the probe while at the same time minimizing direct exposure of the probe tip to sunlight. The shield is shaped to allow natural air convection around the probe so that the air being measured inside the shield is a good representation of the outside air. The shield also provides protection from rain and snow. The 380-280 can be used with sensors from 0.25 diameter up to 0.75" diameter. The lower protective shroud provides added protection for sensors up to 8" in length.
