Sensor Shields

Hinco Sensor Shields are purpose-made protective housings designed to shield instrument sensors from solar radiation, rain, wind and general environmental exposure. When sensors such as temperature and humidity probes are installed outdoors, direct sunlight and precipitation can significantly distort their readings; a properly designed shield allows free airflow around the sensor while blocking these influences, so the instrument measures true ambient conditions rather than the effect of the weather on the sensor itself.

Designed and built by Hinco Instruments in Perth, WA, the shields are constructed for durability in demanding outdoor and industrial settings, standing up to UV, moisture and dust over long service periods. They are well suited to weather and environmental monitoring stations, air-quality installations, ports and terminals, mine sites and other exposed locations where accurate, reliable data is essential.

Because requirements vary from site to site, Hinco can advise on the right shield for your particular sensor type, mounting arrangement and environment, and tailor configurations to suit. Protecting outdoor sensors this way improves data quality and extends sensor life.
