LP02-TR is a solar radiation sensor that can be applied for most common solar radiation observations. It complies with the latest ISO and WMO standards. The scientific name of this instrument is pyranometer. Model LP02-TR has a special housing, which makes it possible to place a transmitter, or amplifier. For additional information on the application and use of regular LP02 pyranometer, LP02 brochure and manual can be consulted.

LP02-TR serves to measure the solar radiation flux that is incident on a plane surface in W/m² from a 180 degrees field of view (also called “global” solar radiation). Working completely passive, using a thermopile sensor, LP02-TR generates a small output voltage proportional to this flux. Contrary to photodiode-based- and “black and white” instruments LP02-TR has a spectrally flat response across the full solar spectrum. Using LP02-TR pyranometer is easy.

LP02-TR pyranometer can be used for general meteorological observations, building physics, climate- and solar collector testing. A common application is for outdoor solar radiation measurements as part of a meteorological station. This application requires horizontal levelling; levelling feet and a level are included. The LP02-TR cable can easily be installed or replaced by the user.
