X.
Solar Shield
a. Solar Shield specifications.
Size:
4” diameter x 8 ½” long
Weight:
1 lb.
b. The solar shield is used to protect sensors, typically humidity and
temperature, from direct sunlight. Insert a sensor into one of the two
holes located on the underside of the shield. The shield provides a
friction lock so the sensors will not accidentally fall out. The sensors
can be removed by firmly twisting and pulling them out of the solar
shield.
c. The shield comes with a stainless steel elbow that can be mounted on
a 1” diameter tube. For best results ensure that the shield is mounted
vertically.
XI.
Maintenance
a. Global Water recommends confirming the calibration annually.
b. The sensors should be cleaned periodically. Sensors can be cleaned
using a damp cotton cloth. NOTE: DO NOT submerge sensors. The
sensors are water resistant, not water proof.
