5 INSTALLATION
5.1 Outdoors
For outdoor applications, use the U-bolt to clamp the sensor to a vertical pipe up to 1 ½" (38mm) in
diameter. The 380-RHRS Solar Radiation Shield must be in place to protect the tip of the probe from
rain or sunshine. Remove the cover of the enclosure, then route your cable through the cord grip on
the bottom of the enclosure. Follow the wiring diagram to make the connections to the screw terminal
block, then tighten the cord grip, leaving some slack inside. Use cable ties to secure the cable to the
support pipe. Complete the installation by connecting to your monitoring system.
5.2 Indoors
The sensor may be mounted indoors without a solar radiation shield. It should be mounted in a
location that receives adequate air flow for proper operation. The transmitter should be mounted such
that the cord grip points down to prevent moisture from entering. The U-bolt can be removed and the
mounting bracket bolted to a wall or post.
5.3 Duct Mount
The tip of the probe is sometimes inserted into an HVAC duct. In this application, drill a 1" diameter
hole in the duct at the desired location (away from fans, corners, heating and cooling coils, and other
equipment that will affect the measurement of the relative humidity). Insert the probe until the
