LI-210R
Photometric Sensor
The LI-200R Pyranometer is meant to be used outdoors under unobstructed natural daylight conditions. It measures global solar radiation—the combination of direct and diffuse solar radiation—in the 400 to 1100 nm range. Measurement units are in watts per square meter (W m-2).
Ideal for agricultural, meteorological, solar energy, and environmental research, the LI-200R is available with a variety of cable lengths and compatibility with most data loggers.
Why choose the LI-200R?
Measures global solar radiation under unobstructed natural daylight conditions
Uniform sensitivity up to 82° incident angle
Detachable sensor simplifies installation and removal, making it ideal for platforms with complex cabling
How does it work?
The LI-200R measures global solar radiation with an unfiltered silicon photodiode. Its measurements correspond closely to first-class thermopiles when used outdoors under unobstructed natural daylight conditions.
The crown of the sensor rapidly sheds water, and also physically blocks light from outside the hemisphere of sensitivity, providing a precise cosine response.
