Overview

LI-COR Pyranometer (-40 to +65C)

The LI200R, manufactured by LI-COR, is a silicon pyranometer that accurately monitors sun plus sky radiation for solar, agricultural, meteorological, and hydrological applications. It uses a silicon photovoltaic detector mounted in a cosine-corrected head to measure solar radiation. A shunt resistor in the sensor’s cable converts the signal from microamps to millivolts, allowing this sensor to be measured directly by a Campbell Scientific data logger.

Key Advantages

Accurate, Versatile
Compatible with most Campbell Scientific data loggers

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 converts the signal from current to voltage, allowing the LI200R to be measured directly by Campbell Scientific data loggers.

The LI200R is calibrated against an Eppley Precision Spectral Pyranometer to 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).

Benefits

  • 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
