2. Product Overview
JW-THP(Z28)Temperature Humidity Pressure Sensor is a compact digital environmental sensor designed for accurate air temperature, humidity and barometric pressure measurement. It combines a high-precision SENSIRION temperature and humidity sensing element with a BOSCH pressure sensor to provide stable and repeatable data for weather, agriculture and environmental applications.
In addition to basic temperature, humidity and pressure readings, the sensor can output multiple calculated parameters, including dew point, frost point, vapor pressure, vapor concentration, cloud base estimation and elevation estimation. These parameters are useful for evapotranspiration calculation, mold prevention, greenhouse climate control and environmental modeling.
The sensor supports SDI-12 and RS485 Modbus RTU interfaces, making it easy to integrate with data loggers, weather stations, IoT gateways, greenhouse controllers and cloud monitoring platforms.

6.Installation and Maintenance
The sensor supports wall-mounted installation or duct flange installation. For outdoor or greenhouse applications, it should be installed in a well-ventilated position that represents the actual air environment. Avoid direct water condensation, strong radiant heat sources, blocked airflow and direct contamination of the sensing filter.
For weather station applications, it is recommended to install the sensor inside a radiation shield to reduce solar radiation error and improve air temperature measurement accuracy.
The sensing end should be kept clean and well ventilated. Avoid dust accumulation, chemical corrosion, water condensation or direct contact with liquid water. For long-term agricultural or outdoor use, the filter and mounting structure should be inspected regularly to ensure stable airflow and reliable measurement.
