T/RH with Radiation Shield
Topic refers to T/RH IP67 Sensor with Outdoor Radiation Shield(TDSPT8x2.ORS) and T/RH Probe Heavy Duty with Outdoor Radiation Shield (TDSPT8x9.ORS)
Modern environmental monitoring requires more than simple temperature readings. In agriculture, greenhouses, warehouses, industrial facilities, and outdoor installations, precise temperature and relative humidity measurements are critical for maintaining product quality, operational efficiency, and environmental stability.
Aranet T/RH Probe Heavy Duty with Outdoor Radiation Shield is a wireless sensor with an external probe, engineered for environments where durability and measurement accuracy are non-negotiable. The PTFE probe and silicone cable ensure reliable temperature and humidity monitoring in condensing and tough industrial settings. The Outdoor Radiation Shield prevents false readings and improves the accuracy of the measurements in the outdoor environment.
Like all Aranet Pro series sensors, this sensor is compatible with the Aranet base station and Aranet Cloud.
T/RH IP67 Sensor with Outdoor Radiation Shield
The T/RH IP67 sensor is designed for harsh outdoor environments where durability and weather resistance are essential. It continuously measures environmental temperature and humidity while maintaining stable performance under dust, rain, moisture, and changing outdoor conditions.
Measurements
Temperature (T) — the thermal condition of the environment.
Relative Humidity (RH) — the amount of moisture present in the air compared to the maximum moisture the air can hold at a specific temperature.
These measurements are essential because temperature and humidity directly affect
Crop growth and greenhouse performance
Food storage and cold chain quality
HVAC efficiency
Industrial processes
Mold prevention
Equipment reliability
Worker comfort and safety
Accurate humidity and temperature monitoring helps businesses reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, and maintain stable environmental conditions.
The device features

Matter of IP67
Why the IP67 Rating Matters
The IP67 protection class is one of the sensor’s most important features.
Meaning of IP67
6 = complete dust protection
7 = protected against temporary water immersion
Why It Is Useful
This allows the sensor to operate reliably in:
Rain
Dusty industrial areas
Agricultural environments
Outdoor storage facilities
High-moisture environments
Without strong enclosure protection, moisture or dust contamination can damage sensing elements and reduce measurement accuracy over time.
Importance of the sensor
Importance of the Outdoor Radiation Shield
One of the most meaningful features is the outdoor radiation shield.
What It Does
The shield protects the sensor from:
Direct sunlight
Thermal radiation
Heat reflection from nearby surfaces
Why This Matters
Without a radiation shield:
The sensor body can heat up from the sunlight
The measured temperature becomes artificially higher
Humidity calculations become inaccurate
The radiation shield allows air to circulate naturally while blocking direct solar heating, resulting in more accurate environmental readings. This is especially important for:
Greenhouses
Weather stations
Outdoor agriculture
Climate research
Environmental compliance monitoring
T/RH probe Heavy Duty with Outdoor Radiation Shield
The T/RH Probe Heavy Duty version is built for more demanding professional applications where the sensing probe must be physically separated from the transmitter body.
Measurements
Temperature (T) — the thermal condition of the environment.
Relative Humidity (RH) — the amount of moisture present in the air compared to the maximum moisture the air can hold at a specific temperature.
Importance
The external probe offers several advantages:
Better Placement Flexibility
The probe can be installed:
Inside ventilation ducts
Near crops
Inside machinery
In hard-to-reach areas
In enclosed monitoring points
while keeping the main transmitter protected elsewhere.
Improved Measurement Accuracy
Separating the sensing element from electronics reduces:
Self-heating effects
Heat interference from equipment
Environmental bias
This improves measurement stability in industrial conditions.
Heavy-Duty Applications
The sensor is intended for:
Industrial HVAC systems
Food storage facilities
Manufacturing environments
Smart agriculture
Harsh outdoor deployments
Why is relative humidity monitoring necessary
Humidity is often underestimated, yet it strongly affects:
Plant diseases
Mold growth
Corrosion
Product spoilage
Human comfort
Electronics reliability
For example:
High humidity can damage stored goods
Low humidity may affect industrial processes
Greenhouses require precise humidity balancing for optimal crop growth
The ±2% RH accuracy of these sensors helps maintain stable environmental conditions with professional-grade precision.
