PROBE LP 471 SILICON-PYRA
LP 471 Silicon-PYRA measures the global solar radiation using a silicon photodiode in the
spectral range 400…1100 nm.
The particular geometry and the diffuser allows the sensor to have a field of view of 180° according
to the cosine law.
The probe is suitable for the measurement of natural sunlight. Under overcast skies, or for reflected
light measurements the use of a thermopile pyranometer is recommended (LP 471 PYRA 03 or LP
471 PYRA 02).
The measurement of global solar radiation is expressed in W/m
2
or in μW/cm
2
. Measuring range is
0…2000 W/m
2
.
No user calibration is required.
The SICRAM module is recognized at the instrument switching on, then it’s absolutely necessary to
connect the module before turning the instrument on.
