Outdoor sensor for relative humidity and temperature

Datasheet
Subject to technical alteration
Issue date: 27.03.2024 • A140

» APPLICATION
Protected temperature and humidity sensor for outside applications. The Radiation shield protects the outside sensors from rain and radiated heat.
With the curved shape and color of the plates air flow is able to move across the sensors to keep radiated temperatures from rooftops and
surrounding surfaces from affecting humidity readings.

» TYPES AVAILABLE

» BUILD-UP OF SELF-HEATING BY ELECTRICAL DISSIPATIVE POWER

Sensors with electronic components always have a dissipative power, which affects the temperature measurement of the ambient air. The
dissipation in active temperature sensors shows a linear increase with rising operating voltage. This dissipative power has to be considered when
measuring temperature. In case of a fixed operating voltage (±0,2 V) this is normally done by adding or reducing a constant offset value.
Thermokon transducers can be operated with variable operating voltages. The transducers are set at the factory with a reference operating voltage
of 24 V =.
At this voltage, the expected measuring error of the output signal will be the least. Other operating voltages, can cause a measurement deviation
changing power loss of the sensor electronics.
A recalibration can be carried out directly on the unit or via a software variable (app or bus).
Remark: Occurring draught leads to a better carrying-off of dissipative power at the sensor. Thus temporally limited fluctuations might
occur upon temperature measurement.

» APPLICATION NOTICE FOR HUMIDITY SENSORS

At regular environmental condition, it is recommended to calibrate the sensor annually to check the compliance with the accuracy
required in the application. The following conditions can damage the sensor element or lead in long therm to loss of the specified
accuracy:
• Mechanical stress
• Contamination (e.g. dust / fingerprints) Do not touch the sensor
• Aggressive chemicals elements!
• Ambient conditions (e.g. condensation on measuring element)
Re-calibration or exchange of the sensor element are not subject of the general warranty.

» MOUNTING ADVICES

» USE ENCLOSURE WITH UV AND WEATHER RESISTANCE

After some time, outdoor mounted plastics can lose their color and quality. Therefore, all USE housings are made of special white polycarbonate
(PC). The light-stable colorants and additives are used to achieve optimum protection of the polymer while maintaining color stability. The titanium
dioxide used is specially developed for polycarbonate and offers excellent UV protection through the reflection of the entire light spectrum including
the UV component by 340 nm. This effectively counteracts the otherwise occurring photochemical polymer degradation. The colors stay full for a
long time without fading. The material is also resistant to cold and frost.

» APPLICATION NOTICE
After a certain time, dirt in the air can collect on the filter and then adversely affect the operation of the sensor. Under normal ambient condition an
annual maintenance is recommended. Rinse the filter after cleaning with distilled water and dry it using clean oil-free air or nitrogen. Extremely
contaminated filters should be replaced. At extreme ambient conditions, e.g. corrosive gases, the humidity sensor may have to be changed.
