• Ensures users gain more accurate measurements, due to increased airflow around sensors
• Users benefit from 2.5 times faster response time to changing conditions
• Works with most of Onset’s external temperature and temperature/relative humidity

Use the RS3-B Solar Radiation Shield to protect your external sensors from sunlight and rain. This shield ensures users gain more accurate measurements, due to increased airflow around sensors. And users benefit from 2.5 times faster response time to changing conditions.

The RS3-B Solar Radiation Shield works with most of Onset’s external temperature and temperature/relative humidity, including those for our award-winning HOBO Weather Station products. For customers interested in deploying a radiation shield with Onset data logger such as a HOBO Pendant or U-Series data logger, Onset also offers two other models of solar radiation shields; the RS1 and the pre-assembled M-RSA.

• Time response: 2.5 times faster than the RS1 and M-RSA
• Wind resistance: Tested in sustained winds up to 129 kph (80 mph), Tested in gusts up to 161 kph (100 mph)
• Materials
• Shield: ASA styrene (UV-stable)
• Bracket: Glass-filled nylon (UV-stable)
• Mounting hardware: Stainless steel and brass
• Temperature: -40° to 75°C (-40° to 167°F)
• Weight: 113 g (4 oz)
• Height: 89 mm (3.5 inches); 159 mm (6.25 inches) with bracket
• Diameter: 102 mm (4 inches); bracket protrudes an additional 51 mm (2 inches) from shield
• Maximum Sensor Diameter: 1.22 cm (0.48 inches)
• Mounting: Up to 51 mm (2 inches) mast diameter with hose clamp; unlimited with screws
• Compatible sensors: S-THC-M00x, S-TMB-M0xx, RXW-THC-xxx, RXW-TMB-xxx, TMCx-HD, and external sensors from U23-00x or MX230x.

Note: This shield does not protect sensors from light reflected from below the shield at some angles. For deployments over reflective surfaces, consider using Onset’s RS1 or M-RSA Solar Radiation Shields.
