PTU200MIK1 mounting kit is for outdoor installation of the PTU200 transmitter
and humidity probes HMP45/HMP233 or HMP 243. The kit consists of a protective
transmitter box, a support arms, a radiation shield, the static pressure head, pole
attachment clamps, a pressure pipe, and a pressure hose. The kit can be attached to
any pole with diameter of either 2" or 60 mm. The box offers IP65 protection for
the transmitter. It is airtight and connected to the static pressure head with the
pressure hose. The radiation shield protects the RH/T probe and the static pressure
head reduces the effect of wind on the pressure measurement.
Static pressure head on the right side. Static pressure head on the left side.
