Description
The SSR2AD solar radiation sensor uses a photodiode as the sensing element. The device has been designed for constant outdoor use and the radiation is measured on the whole hemisphere with the full sight vision of 180°.
The sensor works great in photovoltaic, food farming, thermal convection and evaporation systems. It is fully compatible with MicroPower Weather Stations/data loggers and devices which allow a 0-5V voltage or SDI-12 input.
The calibration of the sensor is made for natural, unshaded daylight. In case of artificial light, the measured data will be not correct, or the sensor must be recalibrated using appropriate source of light. In most cases the sensor is used to measure solar radiation reaching flat surface. However if required, the sensor can be used in reversed or slanted position. The enclosure is made of anodized aluminum with ingress protection IP67. SSR2AD is suitable for use in every weather condition.
