The Davis 6830 is a temperature and humidity sensor that includes a passive radiation shield to protect the sensors from solar radiation

 The Davis 6830 is a temperature and humidity sensor that includes a passive radiation shield to protect the sensors from solar radiation. It's designed to be used with Davis Instruments weather station consoles. The sensor is suitable for installations where steep temperature gradients are uncommon and sufficient wind keeps air moving through the shield. 



Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Functionality: The 6830 measures both air temperature and relative humidity. 

Radiation Shield: The passive radiation shield protects the sensors from solar radiation and other sources of heat. 

Compatibility: It's designed to be compatible with Davis Instruments weather station consoles like the Vantage Pro2 or EnviroMonitor systems. 

Temperature Sensor: It has a temperature sensor with a range of -40° to +150°F (-40° to +65°C). 

Humidity Sensor: It includes a humidity sensor with a measurement range of 1 to 100% RH. 

Mounting: It comes with mounting hardware for installation on a pole or post. 

Cable Length: It includes a 25-foot (7.6-meter) cable. 

Accuracy: The temperature sensor has an accuracy of ±0.5°F (±0.3°C), and the humidity sensor has an accuracy of ±2%. 

Update Intervals: Temperature updates every 10 seconds, and humidity updates every minute.
