TFA Dostmann 98.1114.02 Plastic Case For Sensor ITEM White 10.2 x 9.5 x 17.5 cm

Excellent for protecting weather sensors from the elements, acts as a mini Stevenson's screen and will hopefully extend the life of the sensor.

I wanted to utilise another Ecowitt Temp & Humidity sensor (WH51) in my front garden to compare with my array set up in the back garden. I needed something to house and protect the sensor and the Ecowitt shield is too expensive for this. This offers great value and comes with all the necessary bits to attach your sensor inside on the platsic mount (double sided tape) and with screws and cable ties to attach the shield to a pole or fence etc. It comes with a removeable side bracket which slots down the length of the shield. I have this on a pole in the garden and overnight there is only a 0.2 variation between the two locations. Happy with this as it offeres great value for money. The appearance is quite industrial too which I like.

Bought two of these for use with my Ecowitt WH31 and WH57 themo-hygro and lightning sensors for outside use and they both fit a treat with plenty of room to spare. The unit comes in three parts: 1) the wall/shed mounting bracket. 2) the circular outer protective casing 3) the bayonet-lock base which contains the sensor mounting post. There are two modes of fixing supplied: 4 screws and wall plugs for the wall or shed mount and two cable ties for affixing to a pole. Fixing the sensor inside the case is easy: first, unscrew the base from the outer case by a 1/8th of a turn clockwise (looking from bottom) and free the base from the three locking lugs. Mount the sensor on the base by using either the supplied piece of Velcro attached to the vertical post inside the case and the back of the sensor or by wrapping a small cable tie (also supplied) fairly tightly around the aforementioned vertical post and sensor. I went for the Velcro method. Then, simply lift the base up to the outer case, align the three holes on the base with the lugs on the underside of the case and twist anti-clockwise (looking from underneath) to lock the base holding the sensor in place. The thermometer does read about 1.5C high when strong sun is directly on it, but the lightning detector works fine (well, after I set the DIP switches correctly that is!) Two things to be aware of: 1) the internal diameter of the case is only just over 60mm, so check the width of your sensors before buying. 2) the wall/shed mount requires the case body to be slid down over the mount, so around 200mm of space is required above the mounting bracket in order to slide the sensor case down in place onto the mount. Overall, a decent quality case that seems to work well, but perhaps a little narrow for sensors over 60mm wide and 160mm tall.

Does the job, quite well. It allows sufficient airflow to permit rapid temperature/humidity changes to be recorded. Keeps the sun, rain and wind off the sensor. I attached mine to a downpipe with zip-ties, it seems to be secure enough though it only needs a quick twist to release the base. It's fine, for the price.

Bought a weather station from China that came with 3 sensors but I was struggling to find a decent spot in the garden for one of them. My AI assistant actually recommended this specific model so I gave it a go. Did have a look at some others but they were either double the price or the wait time was just too long. This is a pretty universal case I'd say, should fit practically most sensors out there. In the kit you get some double sided velcro patches to stick the sensor inside, then two fairly long zip ties and screws so you have a choice on how to mount the case itself. Honestly it's all very simple, took me no longer than 5 mins to get it all sorted. Happy to recommend this to others as well.

Good product easy to install comes with screws and plugs. You can tie your sensor to the vertical post inside using supplied cable ties or use the supplied double sided foam pad. Opted for latter so I could stick the sensor a few cm off base allowing me to slide battery cover off on sensor.

Basically an essential bit of kit to pretect the outdoor temp sensor on a weather station. Easy to fit, comes complete with fixing screws & plugs. The 4 screws attaches to the wall/fence post & slide the cover down over the bracket to secure. Just cable tie the sensor to the upright piece inside the bottom of the case (which twists off & on) Seems a lot of money to pay for a piece of moulded plastic.....especially when the price was dropped by £5 the next day...hmmm

Purchased for the netatmo outdoor module in order to provide more accurate measurements. Netatmo outdoor module fits in with room to spare. I used the supplied velcro to ensure the modules does not move around in the case. Reasonably well made product. Its made from a series of plastic rings that interlock to make the product (its supplied ready made!). This means it somewhat moves when handled which gives it a feeling of being poor quality. Access is from below so handy when changing the modules batteries which is becoming more frequent! I have fitted this under the eaves of my shed so meets the requirements of not being in direct sunshine or exposed to direct rain.

Degelijk en goed product. Buitensensor past er perfect in en goede bescherming.

Étanchéité parfaite Facile à positionner

💫 Questa copertura originale TFA è semplicemente fantastica! Niente da dire, 5 stelle meritate! Ho fatto un test con il sensore all'esterno e poi all'interno della copertura, e le rilevazioni erano praticamente identiche, quindi non vengono falsate dalla protezione. - La protezione per il sensore (sempre originale della TFA), è davvero ben fatta, con un design semplice e lineare, che non permette all'acqua di entrare, ma è studiata in modo tale che l'aria circoli senza problemi, così da non falsare i dati rilevati. - Chiaramente la protezione va posizionata in una zona d'ombra, perchè sotto il sole la temperatura rilevata dall'interno sarebbe comunque non attendibile. - In questo modo però è possibile posizionare il sensore ovunque vogliate, anche in zone aperte e soggette alla pioggia. - La plastica utilizzata sembra di buona qualità e gli incastri e le guide sono solide e durevoli. Inizialmente si posiziona il sensore all'interno, si avvita la base al cilindro e poi il tutto lo si fà scorrere nel supporto. - Il supporto può essere avvitato ad una parete oppure legato ad un palo grazie ai fori per far passare le fascette. - Anche la base della copertura presenta delle griglie di areazione, in modo da far entrare l'aria anche da sotto. - In conclusione è davvero un ottimo prodotto per proteggere il vostro sensore dalle intemperie. Lo sto utilizzando già da qualche mese con ottimi risultati! 😉💪🏻

Mich überzeugt die Schutzhülle hinsichtlich der Qualität und Funktionalität. Alle Einzelteile sind sauber verarbeitet und passen perfekt zusammen. Der Schutz eines Außensensors einer Wetterstation gegen direkte Sonneneinstrahlung und Niederschlag ist durch den durchdachten Aufbau dieses Gehäuses sichergestellt. Die Montage an unserem Balkongeländer mittels Kabelbindern war sehr einfach. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Małe, zgrabne urządzenie. Sensor w środku pasuje jak należy. Jak zrobi się pogoda to pozostanie poprawnie zamontować.
