Sensor probes
6.1. Sensor probes types
Libelium provides many different sensor probes depending on what is going to be measured. This section
describes main features of each type. If further information is required, please refer for the corresponding sensor
Standard type
This sensor probe is the most common. The sensor is placed inside a plastic cylinder acting as a protection against
rain and water, but allowing sensor interact with environment to measure necessary parameters. Besides, the
sensor is kept always straight and the size and shape of the probes are standardized as maximum as possible.

Sensor probes of this type are all the gas sensors of the Smart Environment and the Smart Environment PRO
models (except for the temperature, humidity and pressure sensor and the particle matter sensor).
White protection probe
This probe is designed to reduce sunlight effects and prevent from water and rain, but allowing humidity
measurement.
Only the temperature, humidity and pressure sensor include this special protection.
