COMETEO F8000 - Multi-Plate Radiation Shield

Professional passive solar protection against solar radiation and weather for better protection of meteorological sensors and data loggers and for more accurate measurement, with natural ventilation.

"Not just the thermometer screen, but the entire COMETEO system that minimizes measurement errors when used with high-quality certified sensors"

The multi-plate radiation shield is used to protect meteorological monitoring systems and provides the most accurate climate measurement results. The uniquely designed screen minimizes solar radiation reaching the sensor, minimizes radiation absorbed by the screen, and maximizes ambient airflow around the weather station sensor. The surface exposed to sunlight is made of highly UV reflective and long-term stable ASA plastic. The internal surfaces of the screen are made of matte black plastic to minimize internal reflections. The large diameter of 210 mm with 14 plates is designed to provide complete protection for the meteorological sensor.

Each of the fourteen black grids is equipped with a circular slot that allows air to flow vertically through the entire radiation shield. The slot also separates the sunlit part of the grid from the interior part and thus prevents heat transfer to the sensors.

The cylindrical space with a diameter of 110 mm and a height of 210 mm is available within the plates for installing a complete climate measuring device with minimized solar radiation.

Excellent insect and wasp deterrence. The sophisticated design prevents insects from building nests inside and thus degrading the measurement.

Low-cost replacement for the Stevenson screen, taking advantage of reduced maintenance and better performance due to the low time constant compared to the traditional Stevenson screen.

Works with COMET instruments and most professional meteorological equipment.
