This ISO-second-class pyranometer 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 allows the LP02 to be used under plant canopies or lamps, when the sky is cloudy, and for reflected radiation measurements. The LP02 produces a millivolt signal that is measured directly by a Campbell Scientific datalogger.
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 the use of a leveling base. The gland allows the user to change cables.
