Benefits and Features

Calibrated against an Eppley precision spectral pyranometer (PSP) for the daylight spectrum (400 to 1100 nm)

Uniform sensitivity up to 82° incident angle

Cosine-corrected miniature head

Technical Description

The LI200R measures incoming solar radiation with a silicon photovoltaic detector mounted in a cosine-corrected head. The detector outputs current; a shunt resistor in the sensor cable converttshe signal from current to voltage, allowing the LI200Rto be measured directly by Campbell Scientific data loggers.

The LI200R is calibrated against an Eppley Precision Spectral Pyranometerto accurately measure sun plus sky radiation. Campbell Scientific does not recommend using the LI200R under vegetation or artificial lights because it is calibrated for the daylight spectrum (400 to 1100 nm).
