Smart Barometric Pressure, Humidity and Temperature Sensor

The Smart BHT is an integrated barometric pressure, relative humidity, and temperature sensor that meets WMO specifications. In addition to instantaneous measurements, this smart sensor can sample measurements every second and output the average, min/max levels and standard deviation of those sample over logging intervals. The Smart BHT also computes the dew point.

  • Meets WMO guidelines*
  • Digital output that autodetects SDI-12 or Modbus RTU commands.
  • 279 micron, 316T stainless steel mesh for insect and dust protection.
  • Dew point calculation.
  • One second sampling with output average of samples over logged interval.
  • Min / max of samples over log interval. y Standard deviation output of samples.
  • Lightning protection: Gas discharge tube on SDI- 12 data line, IEC-rated RS-485 transceiver with TVS diode protection.
  • Replaceable sensor board for rapid recalibration replacement.

Solar Radiation Shield

The optional solar radiation shield protects the sensor from rain and solar radiated heat. The shield consists of 6 curved UV-resistant white plastic plates with an internal funnel design that allows air flow to efficiently pass through the shield assembly, while blocking direct solar rays and radiated temperatures for surrounding surfaces. Universal mount fits 3/4” to 1-1/2” pipe for flat surfaces.
