Overview
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
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.

Common Accessories
(2)26120
Net Radiation Sensor Mounting Kit
The 26120 mounting kit attaches the NR-LITE2 to a vertical pipe or a horizontal crossarm (CM202, CM204, or CM206). It uses screws to level the sensor.

Compatibility
Mounting
To avoid shading/reflections and to promote spatial averaging, the NR-LITE2 should be mounted at least 1.5 m above the ground or crop canopy and away from all obstructions or reflective surfaces that might adversely affect the measurement. Campbell Scientific recommends mounting the NR-LITE2 to a separate vertical pipe at least 25 ft away from other mounting structures. The 26120 Net Radiation Sensor Mounting Kit is used to mount the NR-LITE2 to a vertical pole or a horizontal crossarm, such as the CM202, CM203, CM204, or CM206.
