Measurement |
-40°C to 75°C (-40°F to 167°F) |
0–100% RH at -40° to 75°C (-40° to 167°F); exposure to conditions below -20°C (-4°F) or above 95% RH may temporarily increase the maximum RH sensor error by an additional 1% |
Accuracy |
±0.25°C from -40° to 0°C (±0.45°F from -40° to 32°F) ±0.20°C from 0° to 70°C (±0.36°F from 32° to 158°F) ±0.25°C from 70° to 100°C (±0.45°F from 158° to 212°F) |
±2.5% from 10% to 90% RH typical to a maximum of ±3.5% including hysteresis at 25°C (77°F); below 10% and above 90% ±5% typical |
Resolution |
0.02°C (0.036°F) |
0.01% RH |
Drift |
<0.01°C (0.018°F) per year |
<1% per year typical |
Response Time (typical, to 90% of change) |
Without solar radiation shield: 3 minutes, 45 seconds in air moving 1 m/sec With RS3-B solar radiation shield: 6 minutes, 30 seconds in air moving 1 m/sec |
Without solar radiation shield: 15 seconds in air moving 1 m/sec With RS3-B solar radiation shield: 30 seconds in air moving 1 m/sec |

Modulation Employed |
OQPSK (Offset Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) |
Data Rate |
Up to 250 kbps, non-adjustable |
Duty Cycle |
<1% |
Maximum Number of Motes |
50 motes per one RX Wireless Sensor Network |
Battery Type / Power Source |
Two AA 1.2V rechargeable NiMH batteries, powered by built-in solar panel or two AA 1.5 V lithium batteries for operating conditions of -40 to 70°C (-40 to 158°F) |
Battery Life |
With NiMH batteries: Typical 3–5 years when operated in the temperature range -20° to 40°C (-4°F to 104°F) and positioned toward the sun (see Deployment and Mounting), operation outside this range will reduce the battery service life With lithium batteries: 1 year, typical use |
Memory |
