Overview

NR-LITE2 Kipp & Zonen Net Radiometer (-40 to +80C)

The NR-LITE2, manufactured by Kipp & Zonen and cabled for use with Campbell Scientific data loggers, is a rugged net radiometer that measures the energy balance between incoming short-wave and long-wave infrared radiation relative to surface-reflected short-wave and outgoing long-wave infrared radiation. It is directly connected to a Campbell Scientific data logger and is widely used in agriculture and hydrology applications.

Key Advantages

Weather Resistant
PTFE-coated absorbers instead of fragile dome

Technical Description

The NR-LITE2 includes two black conical absorbers—one facing upward and the other facing downward. The absorbers are coated in PTFE, making them resistant to weather without using a fragile plastic dome. Both absorbers are calibrated to an identical sensitivity coefficient.

The NR-LITE2 has a bubble level to ensure proper installation and a rod that deters birds from roosting on the sensor. It produces a millivolt signal that is measured directly by a Campbell Scientific data logger.

Benefits

  • Compatible with most Campbell Scientific data loggers
  • Integrated bubble level ensures proper installation
  • Includes rod that deters birds from roosting on the radiometer
  • PTFE-coated absorbers are weather resistant without using a fragile plastic dome
