Use an OS THGR 810 temperature/humidity sensor as a global radiation sensor

G’day Jose,

Thanks for your detailed explanation here. It’s most appreciated. I’m about to set up my WMR 200 system following your instructions, but depending on your answers to my questions below, please:

  • What actual parameters does this system measure – just solar radiation or UV as well?
  • Will it enable me to discard my current UV sensor (UVN800). It seems to be a heap of garbage anyway
  • Is it like a thermometer in a jar and will it measure (or indicate) cloud cover?
    [li]If it measures cloud cover, will it do so at night as well as day?
  • When set up, do I place it in a Stephenson’s Screen alongside my existing temperature/humidity sensor or somewhere else?

Cheers,

Rick
