HMP60
HMP60
OrderableAir Temperature and Relative Humidity Sensor
Overview
The HMP60, manufactured by Vaisala, probe measures air temperature for the range of -40° to +60°C, and relative humidity for the range of 0 to 100% RH. It uses the INTERCAP® capacitive RH chip. This field-replaceable chip eliminates the downtime typically required for the recalibration process.
Key Advantages
Ideal for long-term, unattended applications

(4)RAD06
6-Plate Solar Radiation Shield
When exposed to sunlight, the HMP60 must be housed in a radiation shield. The RAD06 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.
Orderable41303-5A
6-Plate Solar Radiation Shield
The 41303-5A provides a six-plate naturally-aspirated radiation shield that houses one HMP60 probe. Its louvered construction allows air to pass freely through the shield thereby keeping the probe at or near ambient temperature. The 41303-5A attaches to a crossarm, mast, or user-supplied pipe with a 1.0" to 2.1" OD.
OrderableTS100SS
Aspirated Radiation Shield
The TS100SS is a fan-aspirated radiation shield that minimizes temperature-measurement errors caused by incident solar radiation. The unique aerodynamic shape and rugged, low-power fan make it the first research-grade fan-aspirated shield that is practical for use on battery- or solar-powered stations. The shield provides excellent sensor protection and accommodates various combinations of thermistors, PRTs, and humidity sensors using one of the sensor port adapter plugs.
Orderable39124
DIN Rail Terminal Kit with 2 Terminals and 5 Wires
The 39124 provides the needed DIN rail terminals, separator, and wires to connect any product to a data logger or other peripheral that requires five wires for connection. This kit provides the following wires: black, light blue, brown, white, and clear. The color-coding of these wires matches the wire coloring of the product for ease in connection, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Compatibility
Mounting
When exposed to sunlight, the HMP60 must be housed in a 41303-5A, 41303-5B, or RAD06 6-plate naturally aspirated radiation shield. The 41303-5A and RAD06 attaches to a crossarm, mast, or user-supplied pipe with a 2.5 to 5.3 cm (1.0 to 2.1 in.) outer diameter. The 41303-5B attaches to a CM500-series pole or a user-supplied pole with a 5.1 cm (2.4 in.) outer diameter.
The RAD06 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 (< 2 m s-1 [~4.5 mph]), giving a better measurement.
