Overview

The HC2S3-QD is a rugged, accurate temperature and humidity probe that is ideal for long-term, unattended applications. The probe uses an advanced capacitive sensor to measure relative humidity. The probe includes a filter to protect the sensor from dust and particles, for superior performance and reliability.

Detailed Description

The HC2S3-QD comes with a polyethylene filter that protects its sensor from fine dust and particles and minimizes water absorption and retention. Alternatively, a Teflon filter is available for marine environments. The response time is slower when using the Teflon filter.

Compatibility

The military style connector attaches to the RAWS-F Fire Weather Quick Deployment Station, which has an on-board CR1000.

Mounting

The HC2S3-QD should be housed in a 41003-5 10-plate naturally-aspirated solar radiation shield.
