The RHT+ probe is usually supplied already mounted in its radiation screen with
integral mounting bracket. If they have been supplied separately, the it is a very
easy process to fit the RHT+ into the screen. The screen is fitted with a silicon
diaphragm into which you push the probe. This diaphragm holds the probe
securely in place. The radiation screen is supplied with a set of 'V' bolts, bolts, nuts &
end caps, which are used to fasten the screen to the pole. The cable from the
probe is then plugged into the socket labelled 'RH & Air Temperature'.
Use the supplied plastic cable ties to prevent cable movement and damage from
rubbing.
RH / air temperature sensors should be mounted in a position where air may freely circulate through the
radiation screen, and are not near any hot or radiating objects if possible. The effects of mounting on a
metal mast pole should be minimal, and should not cause any noticeable errors.
If your RH and air temperature is integral to the DataHog or MiniMet logger, then it will probably also have
various sockets around the grey box for plugging in other sensors.
There are instances when the RHT+ probe will have a protective cover over the end. These are used to
protect the RH sensing element, which is located inside the PTFE housing, from damage due to a corrosive
environment, such as chemical dust and salt spray.
