MT-052 Temperature Sensor
Naturally ventilated outdoor air-temperature sensor family with a 10-plate radiation shield, available with T-type thermocouple or PT-100 Class A RTD sensing for weather, solar and environmental monitoring.
Typical Applications
- Automatic weather stations
- Solar power plant monitoring
- PV performance monitoring
- Meteorological stations
- Environmental monitoring networks
- Outdoor air-temperature measurement
- Research stations
- Remote monitoring installations
- Agricultural meteorology
- Solar resource assessment systems
The MT-052 Temperature Sensor is a naturally ventilated air-temperature measurement system designed for weather stations, environmental monitoring and solar-energy installations. The sensor is housed inside a 10-plate passive radiation shield that reduces the effects of direct and reflected solar radiation while allowing natural airflow around the sensing element. The family includes the MT-052-T, featuring a 2-wire T-type thermocouple, and the MT-052-A, incorporating a precision 4-wire PT-100 Class A RTD. Both versions require no powered ventilation, include a mounting arm and pole clamp, and provide accurate outdoor air-temperature measurements in demanding monitoring installations.
Key Features
- Accurate outdoor air-temperature measurement
- Passive 10-plate radiation shield
- Natural air ventilation
- No power required for ventilation
- Protection from direct solar radiation
- Protection from reflected radiation
- Protection from rainfall and weather exposure
- Integrated sensing element
- MT-052-T T-type thermocouple option
- MT-052-A PT-100 Class A RTD option
- ±0.15°C specified accuracy
- Pole-mounting arm and clamp included
- Multiple cable lengths available
- Compact 130 × 260 mm construction
- Suitable for permanent outdoor monitoring
Because the MT-052 uses natural convection rather than a powered fan, it can provide shielded ambient-air temperature measurements at remote weather and solar-monitoring sites without adding ventilation power consumption or fan-maintenance requirements.
