Placing the senor in an IP65 housing enables wide scope of installation methods which include wall mounting or fixing the  sensor  to  the  mast  or  a  mast  boom.  The  high  quality enclosure made of ABS and optionally a polycarbonate one, make the sensor sturdy and impact resistant.  Thanks to the pressure compensation element, the housing keeps  its  waterproof  qualities,  allowing  pressure  and temperature equalization at the same time. High  qualities  of  the  housing  and  electronic  components make the sensor fully suitable for meteorological, agricultural, industrial any other applications.

The  sensor  is  equipped  with  an  SDI-12  output  and  iscompatible with all data loggers using this communication standard. SDI-12  (Serial  Digital  Interface  at  1200  baud)  is  a  serial communications    protocol    used    in    environmental measurements. The operating principle is that only an SDI-compatible  device  with  the  digital  addressing  system  will communicate with a the pre-configured sensors. Unless the sensor has a matching configuration, it will not respond and stay  in  a  sleep  mode.    SDI-12  sensors  have  a  three wire connection.  

Every  sensor  is  individually  calibrated  at  two  temperatures and two pressures before leaving the manufacturer. Capacitive  sensitive  element  from  the  sensor  can  becalibrated if required with the use of specialist equipment.
