Multi-Plate Radiation Shield Model 41003

The Multi-Plate Radiation Shield protects temperature and relative humidity sensors from error-producing solar radiation and precipitation. Compact size and light weight make this shield useful for many applications.

The multiple discs have a unique profile that blocks direct and reflected solar radiation, yet permits easy passage of air. The disc material is specially formulated for high reflectivity, low thermal conductivity, and maximum weather resistance. The rugged U-bolt mounting clamp attaches easily to any vertical pipe up to 2 inches diameter.
The Model 41003 employs a universal adapter to securely hold sensors up to 12.5 mm diameter. The Model 41003P uses a special mounting adapter that can be custom sized to fit any sensor from 12.5 mm to 26 mm; specify the diameter when ordering.
The Temperature Probe is a 1000 Ω Platinum RTD encased in a stainless steel protective sheath. The sensing element is securely mounted in a convenient junction box that fits YOUNG radiation shields. For special applications,the temperature probe is available with various output options. The 4-20 mA current output is useful in high noise, industrial settings or for long cable lengths. The 0-1 VDC option provides a calibrated voltage output signal. Low power circuitry makes it ideal for field studies and remote data-logging applications.
The Relative Humidity/Temperature Probe combines a high accuracy humidity sensor and a 1000 Ω Platinum RTD. Available with 0-1 VDC or 4-20 mA outputs, sensors are mounted in a common junction box.
