LP02-L

The LP02, manufactured by Hukseflux, is an ISO 9060:2018 spectrally flat Class C (second class) pyranometer that monitors solar radiation for the full solar spectrum range. It produces a millivolt signal that is measured directly by a Campbell Scientific data logger. The LP02 can provide solar radiation measurements for a variety of meteorological applications.

The LP02 measures solar radiation with a high-quality blackened thermopile protected by a dome. The blackened thermopile provides a flat spectral response for the full solar spectrum range, which enables the LP02 to be used under plant canopies or lamps, when the sky is cloudy, and for reflected radiation measurements.

The LP02 includes a bubble level, three adjusting screws, and a cable gland. The bubble level and adjusting screws allow the sensor to be leveled without using a leveling base. The gland facilitates cable replacement.

The LP02 produces a millivolt signal that is measured directly by a Campbell Scientific data logger.

Two LP02 pyranometers can be mounted back-to-back to make a low-cost albedometer. Contact Campbell Scientific for more information.

Because the LP02 is a second-class pyranometer, it is acceptable for providing the solar radiation data used in stability estimations (EPA Meteorological Monitoring Guidance for Regulatory Modeling Applications, pages 2-10).
