Overview
The RAD06 uses a double-louvered design that offers improved sensor protection from driving rain, snow, and insect intrusion. It also has lower self-heating in bright sunlight combined with higher temperatures (> 24°C [~75°F]) and low wind speeds (< 2m/s [~4.5 mph]), providing a better measurement.
Note: In the image, the RAD06 is mounted to a crossarm with a thermistor.
