INTRODUCTION
Vaisala model SPH20 Pressure Head provides an effective
elimination of pressure variations in the barometer due to the
wind. The heated plates offer an excellent outdoor performance
in cold, icy and wet conditions. The SPH20 can be integrated
directly with the Vaisala PTB210 barometer or any other
barometer.
ASSEMBLING
Screw the lower bar to the threaded sleeve of the lower plates
(with 6 holes).
MOUNTING
Select an open location, prefereably a place higher than the
surroundings, with no buildings or trees nearby. Attach the
SPH20 to a horizontal pole using a mounting plate. A suitable
pole is Vaisala sensor mast, type DKP12. However, any other
horizontal pole with two screws (M6) in a distance of 41 mm can
be used.
NOTE The recommended distance of the SPH20
from the vertical pole is at least 1 m.
1. Loosen the two fixing screws of the pole and fix the SPH20
into the pole as indicated in Figure 1.
2. Attach
the SPH20 by tightening the screws. (The pressure
Head is removed by loosening the two screws).

CONNECTION TO OTHER BAROMETERS
Connect the barometer to the threaded nipple (Figure 1) by using
a flexible, airtight tube with an inner diameter of 4 mm. To
prevent condence water accumulation in the tube, make sure the
entire length of the tube goes downwards from the barometer to
SPH20.
