Page 3: Certificate Of Compliance
EN 50581:2012 Technical documentation for the assessment of electrical and electronic products with respect to the restriction of hazardous substances Please be advised that based on the information available to Apogee Instruments from the raw material suppliers, the products manufactured by Apogee Instruments do not contain, as intentional additives, any of the restricted materials including cadmium, hexavalent chromium, lead, mercury, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyls (PBDE). -
Page 4: Introduction
The curved inlet helps draw air into the shield during high cross winds. These unique properties make the TS-100 ideal for use in remote locations with limited power supply. -

*If the Rotronic HC2-S3 probe is used with the E3 Active Set module, it must be water-proofed before use with the Apogee TS-100 radiation shield. The E3 Active Set module is not water proof (water can infiltrate at the point where the cable enters the housing). -

, the mean of the model TS-100 shields has been within 0.05 C of the means of the other two models of shields. At higher wind speeds, the TS-100 and R. M. Young shields read slightly cooler (-0.05 C) than the mean of the Met One shields, but the difference is not... - Page 7 *IP55 The fan inside the TS-100 is extremely well sealed against water and dust, with an ingress protection (IP) rating of 55, called IP55. Higher numbers indicate better protection. Fans typically range from IP11 to IP55. The first digit in the IP rating indicates protection against particle entry.

Page 9: Deployment And Installation
DEPLOYMENT AND INSTALLATION TS-100 fan-aspirated radiation shields come partially pre-assembled and has few parts, facilitating easy transport, deployment, and maintenance. Avoid placing the shield near buildings, paved surfaces, or any other locations which may create a micro- environment significantly different than ambient environment. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) recommends a mounting height of 1.25 to 2 meters above ground. -
Page 10: Cable Connectors
(pyranometer pictured) Instructions Pins and Wiring Colors: All Apogee connectors have six pins, but not all pins are used for every sensor. There may also be unused wire colors inside the cable. To simplify datalogger connection, we remove the unused pigtail lead colors at the datalogger end of the cable. -
Page 11: Operation And Measurement
PRT sensors, please see their respective manuals. VERY IMPORTANT: Apogee changed all wiring colors of our bare-lead sensors in March 2018. To ensure proper connection to your data device, please note your serial number or if your sensor has a stainless-steel connector 30 cm from the sensor head then use the appropriate wiring configuration below. - Page 12 Wiring for ST-110 Serial Numbers 2725 and above Red: Excitation channel (excitation for thermistor) White: Single-ended channel (positive thermistor lead) Black: Ground (negative thermistor lead) Clear: Shield/Ground An excitation voltage of 2.5 V DC is recommended to minimize self-heating and current drain, while still maintaining adequate measurement sensitivity (mV output from thermistor per C).
- Page 13 Conversion of Thermistor Resistance to Temperature The thermistor is a resistive element, where resistance changes with temperature. Thermistor resistance (R , in Ω) is measured with a half-bridge measurement, requiring a known excitation voltage input (V ) and a measurement of output voltage (V ...
- Page 14 The fan also has a tachometer to monitor blade revolutions per minute (RPM). The tachometer outputs a pulse voltage signal. The pulse multiplied by 30 yields fan RPMs. The RPM should be near 4500 in full power mode and 2500 in low power mode. In addition to the tachometer output wire, there is a pull-up wire (power input). This allows a user-defined maximum output voltage from the tachometer, and facilitates interfacing with multiple measurement devices.

Page 15: Maintenance And Recalibration
EE08 probes, especially the filter cap, should be periodically cleaned to remove all dust and debris. Additional filter caps are available from Apogee to replace clogged filter caps. For more information about filter cap replacement, call or email Apogee technical support: 435.245.8012, techsupport@apogeeinstruments.com. -
Page 16: Troubleshooting And Customer Support
TROUBLESHOOTING AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT Independent Verification of Functionality Apogee ST-110 temperature sensors yield a resistance proportional to temperature. A quick and easy check of sensor functionality can be accomplished with an ohmmeter. Connect the lead wires of the ohmmeter to the red and white wires from the sensor. - Page 17 Standard Apogee cable lengths for the EE08 are 5 m, 10 m, and 20 m. If a length greater than 20 m is required, additional cable can be spliced onto a standard cable. For cable extensions, shielded, twisted-pair cable is recommended, in order to minimize electromagnetic interference.
