Temperature and Humidity Sensor
- Includes solar radiation and rain screen, cabling, and mounting arm
- O-ring sealed protective housing for internal electronics.
- Easily replaceable filter for protection from airborne contaminants.
The THS-3 is the latest generation of temperature and humidity sensor developed by FTS. The solar radiation shield is comprised of six UV resistant louvers, providing effective protection from direct or reflected sunlight and rainfall, while ensuring good ambient air flow to the sensor.
The internal electronics are housed in an anodized aluminum tube, sealed at both ends by waterproof O-rings. The humidity sensor is protected from airborne contaminants and insects by a replaceable filter.
The sensor assembly mounts to an aluminum mounting arm that clamps directly to the weather station mast, providing a lightweight yet rugged support.
