Solar radiation shield, compatible with tripods (M-TPA or M-TPB), RX3000 monitoring station and temperature / relative humidity sensors (USB data loggers, MX Bluetooth dataloggers, wired smart sensors, wireless HOBOnet sensors)
You can use the RS3-B solar radiation shield with Hobo external sensors to improve your temperature measurement accuracy in locations exposed to sunlight. The small size and unobstructed airflow of this shield provides a faster response to changing conditions, than larger radiation shields.
The RS3-B solar radiation shield works with most of Onset’s external temperature and temperature/relative humidity sensors, including those for our Hobo weather station products.
For customers looking for a radiation shield large enough to mount a Hobo data logger inside it, Pedak also offers two other models of solar radiation shields: the RS1 and the pre-assembled M-RSA.
