4-20mA Output WE300 Solar Radiation Sensor
This precision pyranometer includes a bubble level, leveling screws and mounting hardware for quality installation. The Solar Radiation detector uses a LiCOR high stability silicon photovoltaic detector (blue enhanced) to obtain accurate readings. The sensor is mounted on 25' of marine grade cable, with lengths up to 500' available upon request. The sensor output is 4-20 mA with a two wire configuration.
Product Description
The solar radiation sensor or pyranometer is an instrument for measuring solar radiation received from a whole hemisphere. It is suitable for measuring global sun plus sky radiation. Solar radiation varies significantly among regions. Season and time of day are major considerations, but surrounding terrain elevation, man-made obstructions, and surrounding trees can also cause large variations in locations with a small area. Often, the required measurement is, energy flux density of both direct beam and diffuse sky radiation passing through a horizontal plane of known unit area (i.e., global sun plus sky radiation
