INTRODUCTION

The Multi-Plate Radiation Shield protects temperature and

relative humidity sensors from error-producing solar radiation

and precipitation. This shield relies on a combination of plate

geometry, material and natural ventilation to provide effective

shielding.

INSTALLATION

The Multi-Plate Radiation Shield is designed to be mounted on

a relatively flat open area. For best performance, the shield

should be placed in a location with the following characteristics:

- Good air circulation around shield.

- Away from large masses (asphalt, masts, solar panels)

especially metal items.

- Away from building exhaust vents, electrical machinery

and motors.

- Away from standing water, water fountains and

sprinklers.

MAINTENANCE

The Multi-Plate Radiation Shield requires no regular maintenance

in normal use. Dirt or dust accumulation on the plates and bracket

can be cleaned with soap and water.

Do not use solvents.
