HC2A-S3
OrderableReplacement Sensor for the HC2S3-L
Overview
The HC2A-S3 is a replacement sensor for the retired HC2S3-L Temperature and Relative Humidity Probe. The sensor is a drop-in replacement for existing installations, requiring no change in programming or wiring. This sensor does not ship with a cable. Please refer to the HC2S3CBL1 if a cable is required.
Technical Description
The HC2A-S3 sensor is an update to the retired HC2S3-L, manufactured by Rotronic AG. This sensor features an updated housing and the HYGROMER HT-1 next-generation sensing element. The HC2A-S3 is fully backward-compatible with the previous generation of sensor, with matching electrical and measurement specifications. However, the length of the sensor has increased by 2.5 cm (1.0 in.) and requires that the sensor be installed slightly lower in the radiation shield to optimize the position of the sensing elements in the shield.

(2)RAD10
10-Plate Solar Radiation Shield for Small Sensors
When exposed to sunlight, the HC2A-S3 must be housed in a radiation shield. The RAD10 uses a double-louvered design that offers improved sensor protection from driving rain, snow, and insect intrusion. It also has lower self-heating in bright sunlight combined with higher temperatures (> 24°C (~75°F)) and low wind speeds (< 2m/s (~4.5 mph)), providing a better measurement.
Orderable41003-5
10-Plate Solar Radiation Shield
The 41003-5 is a naturally aspirated 10-plate radiation shield. Its louvered construction allows air to pass freely through the shield, keeping the probe at or near ambient temperature. The shield's white color reflects solar radiation.
