Ideal for long-term deployment in harsh conditions
Resumen
The CS301, manufactured by Apogee Instruments, measures total sun and sky solar radiation for solar, agricultural, meteorological, and hydrological applications. Its spectral range of 360 to 1120 nanometers encompasses most of the short-wave radiation that reaches the Earth's surface. Because the CS301 connects directly to Campbell Scientific data loggers, the output of this pyranometer can be collected on site, as well as remotely.
This pyranometer features an IP67-rated, marine-grade 316L connector that allows the user to easily swap sensors for recalibration or to replace damaged cables.

Descripción detallada
The CS301 uses a silicon photovoltaic detector mounted in a cosine-corrected head to provide solar radiation measurements. Its dome-shaped head prevents water from accumulating on the sensor head. To eliminate internal condensation, the sensor head is potted solid and the cable is shielded with a rugged Santoprene casing. The CS301 is calibrated against a Kipp & Zonen CM21 thermopile pyranometer to accurately measure sun plus sky radiation.

Sensor Mounts
Accurate measurements require the sensor to be leveled using a 18356 leveling fixture. This leveling fixture incorporates a bubble level and three adjusting screws. The 18356 mounts to a crossarm or a tripod or tower mast using the CM225 mounting stand. The CS301 should be mounted away from all obstructions and reflective surfaces that might adversely effect the measurement.
Data Logger Considerations
One differential analog input channel per probe is required.
