Details

CS320By combining a blackbody thermopile sensor with an acrylic diffuser, there is a significant improvement in spectral response compared to a radiation meter with silicon optoelectronic components, but at a similar price. The total radiation meter of a thermopile uses a series of thermoelectric connections (connecting two different metals at multiple points according to the principle of thermocouples), providing the equivalent of several based on the temperature difference between the black absorption surface and the standard sourceµV/W/m²Unit's signal. The black surface of the thermoelectric radiation meter uniformly absorbs solar radiation in the solar spectrum.

The power is0.2 WThe heater prevents water (liquid or frozen state) from adhering to the sensor surface, greatly reducing the impact of factors such as dew, fog, rainfall, and snowfall on the measurement. The sliding of dew and rainfall is achieved by the dome shaped sensor head (diffuser and body). This can keep the sensor clean and minimize errors caused by dust blocking the radiation path. The sensor is encapsulated in a sturdy anodized aluminum body, which seals the electronic components and maximizes the protection of internal components.

Through a customized calibration process,CS320Each sensor in the total radiation meter has a calibration coefficient. At the factory, the calibration coefficient has been written into the microprocessor inside the sensor.CS320supportSDI-12Output（SDI-12version1.4）Short wave radiation（W/m²）It will be returned in numerical format.CS320The measurement of total radiation meter needs to be supportedSDI-12Measurement equipment for the protocol, includingMorCCommand.
