Product Description

The SRS100LX temperature and humidity radiation shield is a low cost solution for protecting temperature and relative humidity sensors. It consists of nine molded plastic plates and an UV inhibited ABS plastic mounting arm. The wedge-shaped plates provide maximum airflow around the sensor while at the same time minimizing direct exposure to sunlight. The passive shield is shaped to allow natural air convection around the sensor so that the air temperature inside the shield is a good representation of the outside air. The shield also provides protection from rain and snow.

The SRS100LX radiation shield fits most temperature and humidity sensors sold by Ambient Weather. Order the SRS100 for smaller sensor installations (reference dimensions below).

The SRS100LX is designed with a highly reflective white surface to reflect the sun's direct radiation. The multi-plate design allows for maximum airflow. The UV inhibited ABS plastic mounting arm can be mounted to any vertical surface. U-Bolts are included to mount to any pole.

Compatible Sensors*: RTGR328NA, TX50U-IT, TX13U, TX6U, TX7U, TX4U, TX18U, TX8U, TX9U, WS2010-22, WS2010-25, WS2010-28, WS2310-25, TX21U-IT, TX25U-IT, TX27U-IT, TX28U-IT, TX29U-IT, TX37U-IT, TX29UDTH-IT, TX22U-IT, and other sensors from different manufacturers are also compatible with the SRS100
*Some sensors require the removal of mounting bracket or aesthetic covers to fit within the inner cavity of the SRS100 (WxLxH): 2.5" x 4.3" x 7.4".

Customers are mixed about the quality of the product. Some mention that it performs well, has good marks for reliability, and is well made. However, others say that the plastic mounting bracket is very flimsy and likely to break in a severe storm. The bracket sags substantially under the weight of the XL sensor housing and did in fact break.

Customers are mixed about the value of the weather station. Some mention it's the best for the price and well worth the investment, while others say it'd be better off buying a different product.

Customers are mixed about the fit of the product. Some mention it's a perfect fit for their Weatherflow Air sensor, while others say that it'd be better if it was smaller.

"...The sensor fit just fine inside "the pocket" of this easy to assemble temperature shield...." Read more

"...But when you get into the 70s and above, the smaller shield is inadequate. My thermometer was reporting temperatures 5 to 10 degrees F too high...." Read more

4 customers mention0 positive4 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the flexability of the product. They mention that the wind flexes the mount so they expect it to crack in time. The shield is so massive that it flex downward on the bracket. They also say that there is not enough wind action to keep everything cooled to air temperature.

"...The T-Post is not the problem. The shield's bracket is what is flexing. Likely the top plate is also insufficient in strength...." Read more

Good product but flimsy mounting bracket.
4 Stars
Good product but flimsy mounting bracket.
I bought this to house the outdoor sensor for the Ambient Weather WS-2801A Color Weather Station. I found there was no place around my house that I could put the senor where it would not be exposed to direct sunlight at least part of the day--making temperature readings at that time inaccurate. This product effectively shields the sensor and protects it from the weather. However, the plastic mounting bracket is very flimsy, and likely to break in a severe storm. So I modified it by attaching a galvanized metal bracket over the plastic bracket to strengthen it (see photo). This simple "fix" strengthened the bracket enough that I think it could even survive one of our Florida hurricanes!

1.0 out of 5 stars Bracket Too Weak
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2018
The unit seemed to give the protection from sun that was required to get accurate readings. The problem is the bracket that holds it. It is plastic and must be weak. This is for weather equipement. Winds were 20-35 mph and the bracket broke and I lost my brand new AIR unit from Weatherflow as well as this "protective" covering as none of it was locatable after disappearing from its mount. Do not use this if you have anything more than pretty light winds. I am out the $49 for this plus I'm afraid more than $100 for my AIR unit. I'll have to replace it and they will not be available until June. I am really disappointed.
