Benefits and Features

Compatible with most Campbell Scientific data loggers

Designed for continuous, long-term, unattended operation in adverse conditions

Measurement waveband of 360 to 1120 nm

Dome-shaped head prevents water from accumulating on the sensor head

Technical Description

The CS300 uses a silicon photovoltaic detector mounted ina cosine-corrected head to provide solar radiation measurements for solar, agricultural, meteorological, and hydrological applications. Calibrated against a Kipp & Zonen CM21 thermopile pyranometer, the CS300 accurately measures sun plus sky radiation for the spectral range of 360 o 1120 nm. Sensors calibrated to this spectral range should not be used under vegetation or artificial lights.

The standard output is 0.2 mV per W m which provides a signal of 200 mV in full sunlight (1000 W m™2). All of our dataloggers, including the CR200(X) series, can measure this output.
