this model, a motor-driven fan on the outdoor sensor
draws air through the sensor chamber and exhausts
it through the top of the shield.
This
improves the temperature accuracy in areas where the
temperature is very hot (over 90°) on a regular
basis and the air is typically still.
The
fan is powered via solar power on the wireless version
