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 THE VAISALA PTB210
Visualization in Figure 2.
1.Detach the threaded nipple and the gasket (see Figure 1).
2.Place the O-ring into the barometer groove.
3.Attach the PTB210 to the SPH20 with two fixing 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.
