CS115 Barometric Pressure Sensor
3.Installation
3.1Venting and Condensation
CAUTION
NOTE
To prevent condensation, install the sensor in an environmentally protected enclosure, complete with desiccant which should be changed at regular intervals. As the sensor must detect the external ambient pressure the enclosure must not be ‘hermetically sealed’.
Failure to protect the sensor from condensation may result in permanent damage.
If it is necessary to make a vent hole on the outer wall of an enclosure, do not make the hole on one of the vertical side walls, as wind blowing around it can cause transient changes in pressure.
3.2 Mounting
The mounting holes for the sensor are
