Temperature/RH Smart Sensor (S-THC-M00x) Manual 

25929-A 

The temperature/RH smart sensor is designed to work with smart sensor-compatible HOBO® 
data loggers and stations. All sensor parameters are stored inside the smart sensor, which 
automatically communicates configuration information to the logger without any 
programming, calibration or extensive user setup.

Measurement Range 

-40°C to 75°C (-40°F to 167°F) 

0-100%* RH at -40° to 75°C (-40° 
to 167°F); exposure to conditions 
below -20°C (-4°F) or above 95% 
RH may temporarily increase the 
maximum RH sensor error by an 
additional 1% 

Accuracy 

±0.25°C from -40° to 0°C (±0.45°F 
from -40° to 32°F) 
±0.20°C from 0° to 70°C (±0.36°F 
from 32° to 158°F) 
±0.25°C from 70° to 75°C 
(±0.45°F from 158° to 167°F) 

±2.5% from 10% to 90% RH 
typical to a maximum of ±3.5% 
including hysteresis at 25°C 
(77°F); below 10% and above 
90% ±5% typical

Response Time (typical, to 90% 
of change) 

Without solar radiation shield:  
3 minutes, 45 seconds in air 
moving 1 m/s 
With RS3-B solar radiation 
shield: 6 minutes, 30 seconds in 
air moving 1 m/s 

Without solar radiation shield: 
15 seconds in air moving 1 m/s 
With RS3-B solar radiation 
shield: 30 seconds in air moving 
1 m/s 

Operating Temperature Range 

-40°C to 75°C (-40°F to 167°F) 

Environmental Rating 

Weatherproof: 0 to 100% RH intermittent condensing environments. 
For best results, protect the temp/RH sensor from sunlight and direct 
splashing by mounting it inside a protective enclosure, such as a solar 
radiation shield. 

Housing 

PVC cable jacket with ASA styrene polymer RH sensor cap; modified 
hydrophobic polyethersulfone membrane

The CE Marking identifies this product as complying with all relevant 
directives in the European Union (EU). 

 

The UKCA marking identifies this product as complying with all 
relevant directives in the UK Declaration of Conformity. 

*  Maximum 100% RH readings are only logged with RX3000 stations. The maximum readings for this sensor with U30 and 

H21 stations is approximately 99.99%. 

** A single HOBO station can accommodate 15 data channels and up to 100 m (328 ft) of smart sensor cable (the digital 

communications portion of the sensor cables).
