Optional Sensors

Solar Irradiance

The SP Lite 2 is a simple, low cost pyranometer for routine measurements of solar radiation. The unit has been designed to be used in all weather conditions with minimal maintenance. The SP Lite 2 features a silicon photo-diode detector with a conical diffuser to provide a full 180° field of view and allow rain to run off. The photo-diode does limit the spectral range, 400-1100nm, but this provides a similar spectral response to photovoltaic solar cells.

Measurement Range: +2000Wm²
Resolution: 100µV/Wm²
Units: Wm²

Barometric Pressure

The temperature and humidity sensor is a single instruments supplied mounted into a small Stevenson screen, designed to protect the sensor against error-producing solar radiation and precipitation, plus the discs prevent any wind effects on the readings. Screen can be secured to the tripod, or with fixing screws to a surface.

Measurement Range: 750-1250mBar
Accuracy: 0.1%
Units: mBar

Temperature & Humidity

The temperature and humidity sensor is a single instruments supplied mounted into a small Stevenson screen, designed to protect the sensor against error-producing solar radiation and precipitation, plus the discs prevent any wind effects on the readings. Screen can be secured to the tripod, or with fixing screws to a surface.

Temperature Relative Humidity
Measurement Range: -40 to +60°C 0-100%RH
Accuracy: ±0.5°C ±1.5%RH
Units: °C %RH

RainfallTipping Rain Bucket

The TR-525 rain gauge is a freestanding tipping rain bucket used to measure precipitation totals with a pulse output for rainfall totals. The 6″ open top funnel allows for a 0.01″ measurement unit (convertible to mm). The rain bucket is free standing but needs secured to the surface to prevent it being knocked over.
