The EE181 is a rugged, accurate air temperature and relative humidity (RH) probe that is ideal for long-term, unattended applications. It includes a proprietary coating on the RH element that increases the life of the element and protects it from dirt, dust, salt, or other contaminants. A 1000 Ω PRT measures air temperature for the -40° to +60°C range. For optimum results, the EE181 should be recalibrated annually.

When exposed to sunlight, the EE181 must be housed in a 10-plate solar radiation shield. Campbell Scientific recommends the MetSpec RAD10E, which uses a double-louvered design that offers improved sensor protection from driving rain, snow, and insect intrusion. This shield also has lower self-heating in bright sunlight combined with higher temperatures (> 24°C [~75°F]) and low wind speeds (< 2 m s-1 [~4.5 mph]), giving a better measurement.
The EE181 will work with R. M. Young 10-plate radiation shields (41003-5 or 41003-5A), but these shields require a special adapter (pn 28415) to accommodate the sensor girth.
The RAD10E and 41003-5 attach to a crossarm, mast, or user-supplied pipe with a 2.5 to 5.3 cm (1.0 to 2.1 in.) outer diameter. The 41003-5A radiation shield attaches to a CM500-series pole or a user-supplied pole with a 5.1 cm (2.4 in.) outer diameter.
