Description
Solar Radiation Sensor for Agricultural Weather Stations. Measure broadband solar radiation for agricultural weather monitoring and greenhouse shading applications.
Specifications
The table describes the listed configuration. Confirm the ordered range, output variant, accessories and acceptance criteria before procurement.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Power | 12–24V DC for the pictured configuration |
| Spectral range | 0.3–3 µm, listed |
| Radiation range | 0–2,000 W/m² |
| Resolution | 1 W/m² |
| Operating temperature | −40 to 85°C |
| Output | RS485 Modbus |
Selection and System Integration
Choose this type when the required quantity is broadband radiation in W/m². For crop-lighting projects requiring PPFD, request a sensor specified in photon-flux units rather than treating this radiation reading as interchangeable.
Installation and Application Notes
Install level with an unobstructed field of view and keep the optical surface clean. Confirm calibration documentation and the sensor’s measurement characteristics before using data in a weather or irrigation model.
Sample Evaluation
Before a larger order, check the selected sample against the agreed specification using representative operating conditions. Confirm wiring, power, output units and controller communication, then record reference measurements and any configuration changes. Agree on the required documents, packing and replacement components as part of the quotation.
Application FAQ
Can it measure PPFD directly?
The supplied range is in W/m². Direct PPFD measurement in µmol/m²/s is not specified.
Request a Project Quotation
For solar radiation sensor selection, send the following details so Wewin Smart Agri can help match the configuration and coordinate sample evaluation and a batch quotation:
- Required radiation variable and range
- Mounting position and shading conditions
- Calibration documentation, gateway and cable length
- Destination country, estimated order quantity and required delivery schedule
Send your application requirements for configuration review and quotation. Related project information is available in our agricultural sensor range.
