Recommended for temperature and relative humidity measurement accuracy in locations exposed to direct or reflected sunlight. Mounts on tripods, masts, or flat vertical surfaces. The following loggers require mounting brackets for use with the M-RSA:
- HOBO MX2301 or MX2305 loggers require the MX2300-RS-BRACKET
- HOBO U22 or U23-001 loggers require the U23 Clamp Kit.
This bracket is required for mounting HOBO MX2301A and MX2305 loggers in either an RS1 or M-RSA solar radiation shield.
Use the RS3-B Solar Radiation Shield with HOBO external sensors for improved temperature measurement accuracy in locations exposed to sunlight. The small size and unobstructed airflow of this shield provides a faster response to changing conditions than larger radiation shields.
The RS3-B Solar Radiation Shield works with most of Onset's external temperature and temperature/relative humidity sensors, including those for our award-winning HOBO Weather Station products.
For customers looking for a radiation shield large enough to mount a HOBO data logger inside it, Onset also offers two other models of solar radiation shields; the RS1 and the pre-assembled M-RSA
