Detailed Description

For this version of the HMP45C, the cable terminates in a military style connector and has a user-specified lead length. The connector attaches to the RAWS-P enclosure, which mounts to a CM6/CM10 tripod, CM110-series tripod, or UT-series tower. The probe uses a HUMICAP capacitive polymer H chip to measure relative humidity over the 0 to 100% RH range. A PRT measures temperature over the -40° to +60°C range.

Compatibility

The sensor cable terminates in a military style connector and a user-specified lead length. The connector attaches to the RAWS-P enclosure.

Mounting

The HMP45C-LQ should be housed in a 41003-5 10-plate naturally-aspirated solar radiation shield. This radiation shield mounts to a tripod or tower mast, crossarm, or user-supplied pole.
