Relative Humidity and Air Temperature Sensor

Use the EHT durable RH/temperature sensor with soil moisture probes in microclimate and evapotranspiration studies.

Compact

This 3 cm x 1 cm sensor can fit into very small spaces.

Weatherproof

Thanks to its unique Teflon screen, the relative humidity sensor can survive a deluge. It naturally won't be transmitting accurately while it's waterlogged, but once it dries out, it's back in the game.

Fast Response

The Teflon screen protects the sensor from liquid water and dust without limiting diffusion of water vapor. The protected sensor is still able to respond to changes in humidity very quickly.

Integrated Temperature for Accuracy

Accurate relative humidity readings require accurate air temperature readings taken at the same point and time. This sensor takes both measurements simultaneously for the best possible accuracy.

Radiation Shield Included

The included radiation shield is designed to improve air temperature readings by minimizing radiation and maximizing airflow over the surface of the sensor. Specially designed to preserve the correlation between actual air temperature and sensor air temperature while keeping the shield size small.

Measurements:

  • Relative Humidity
  • Temperature

Applications:

  • Irrigation Scheduling
  • Plant Ecology
