Hukseflux LP02 Pyranometer

Recommended for financeable resource assessment campaigns, the Hukseflux LP02 is a solar radiation sensor that is compliant with second class criteria from the ISO 9060 standard.

Product Configurations

Hukseflux LP02 Pyranometer

#6889



Details

This thermopile-based sensor measures global horizontal irradiance and has a spectrally flat response across the full solar spectrum. The LP02 generates a small voltage signal that is proportional to the solar radiation flux, expressed in W/m2.

The LP02 is compatible with the SymphoniePLUS®3 Data Logger and SymphoniePRO® Data Logger when equipped with a Symphonie® SCM Card (SCM #6646, used with SymphoniePLUS3 or older) or Pro Signal Conditioning Module (P-SCM #9128, used with SymphoniePRO).

This kit includes a calibration certificate and 5 m (16.4') cable.
