12-Bit Temperature/RH Smart Sensor (S-THB-M0xx) Quick Start
Connecting to a Station
1. Stop the station if it is logging.
2. Plug the smart sensor jack into an open smart sensor port on the station.
3.
Start logging.
Mounting the Smart Sensor
• A solar radiation shield is strongly recommended when
measuring air temperatures in direct sunlight. Solar
radiation can be a significant source of error in the
temperature and RH readings.
• Use the washer and screw (included with the M-RSA
radiation shield) or cable clamps (included with the RS3-B
radiation shield) to secure the smart sensor in the solar
radiation shield.

Deployment Guidelines
• Thermally isolate the sensor from the mounting surface to ensure accurate air
temperature and humidity readings. The probe’s temperature sensor is at the end of the
cable, just below the cap.
• Protect the probe from direct exposure to the we
ather to prolong sensor accuracy.
• Secure the smart sensor adapter to the mast with the cable ties as shown. Multiple smart
sensor adapters can be stacked as shown in the far right example. Alternatively, mount
the smart sensor adapter to a flat surface using two screws (no larger than a #6) and two
washers.
• If the sensor cable is left on the ground, use conduit to protect ag
ainst animals, lawn
mowers, exposure to chemicals, etc.
