Additional Information

Features & Benefits

Precision pyranometer

Detects solar radiation at wavelengths of 300 to 1100 nanometers. Solar radiation data is required (along with an anemometer and a temperature/humidity sensor) enables the weather station to report ET and THSW Index.

Stands up to the weather

Two-piece housing minimizes radiation heating, allows convection cooling of the sensor, and prevents the trapping of water or dust.

Specifications

Designed for accuracy

Diffuser element and housing are carefully designed for accurate cosine response.
Silicon photo diode provides good match to solar spectrum.

Specifications

Accuracy: +/-5% of full spectrum
Cosine Response: =/-3% for angle of incidence from o – 75 degrees
Temperature Coefficient: -0.067% per degree F (-0.12% per degree C)
