A sunlight sensor that provides accurate radiation measurements under any weather conditions.
■Measurement of sunshine duration based on the WMO-defined threshold of 120 W/m² ■RS485, voltage analog, voltage digital, SDI-12, contact output ■Measured with a photodiode array positioned at a specific location ■High measurement reliability is ensured due to the absence of mechanical moving parts Three versions are available due to differences in output type: ●LPSD18.1: RS485 Modbus-RTU output and voltage-free contact output (closed = SRD ≥ 120 W/m², open = SRD < 120 W/m²) ●LPSD18.2: RS485 Modbus-RTU output, analog voltage output DC 0–1V (corresponding to direct radiation 0–2000 W/m²) and digital voltage output (output 1V = SRD ≥ 120 W/m², output 0V = SRD < 120 W/m²) ●LPSD18.3: SDI-12 output and voltage-free contact output (closed = SRD ≥ 120 W/m², open = SRD < 120 W/m²)
