Technical Description

The LI200X uses a silicon photovoltaic detector mounted in a cosine-corrected head to provide solar radiation measurements. Calibrated against an Eppley precision spectral pyranometer (PSP), the LI200X accurately measures sun plus sky radiation for the spectral range of 400 to 1100 nm. Sensors calibrated to this spectral range should not be used under vegetation or artificial lights.

The LI200X includes an epoxy-encased completion circuit in its cable. This completion circuit standardizes the sensor's sensor's calibration, allowing individual sensors to be interchanged without altering multiplier and offset values.
