SILICON PYRANOMETER 5600-0600

SILICON PYRANOMETER 5600-0600

Designed for field measurements in solar, agricultural, meteorological, and hydrological studies

APPLICATIONS

FEATURES

Used extensively in solar energy studies for site evaluations and monitoring, passive system analysis, irrigation scheduling and other environmental studies.
Patterned after the work of Kerr, Thurtell and Tanner, and calibrated against Eppley PSP under natural daylight conditions
Features a silicon photovoltaic detector mounted in a fully cosine-corrected miniature head
Can be mounted in any plane without affecting performance
In clear unobstructed daylight conditions compares favorably with first class thermopile type pyranometers, but is priced at a fraction of the cost
Spectral response does not cover full range of solar spectrum (error induced - <±5% - under most conditions of natural daylight)
Includes a millivolt adapter (604 ? precision resistor) to convert milliamp output to millivolts
Includes anodized aluminum base with stainless steel leveling screws and a weatherproof spirit level
Should only be used to measure unobstructed daylight (conditions of calibration). Not to be used under vegetation, artificial lights, in green houses, or for refl ected solar radiation.
