LP02 Pyranometer
1. Introduction
The LP02 is an ISO-second-class pyranometer that monitors solar radiation for
the full solar spectrum range. It produces a millivolt signal that can be
measured directly by a Campbell Scientific datalogger. The LP02 can provide
solar radiation measurements for many meteorological applications. This
pyranometer is manufactured by Hukseflux.
Before using the LP02, please study:
• Section 2, Cautionary Statements
• Section 3, Initial Inspection
• Section 4, Quick Start
2. Cautionary Statements
• Although the LP02 is rugged, it is also a highly precise scientific
instrument and should be handled as such.
• Care should be taken when opening the shipping package to not damage or
cut the cable jacket. If damage to the cable is suspected, consult with a
Campbell Scientific application engineer.
3. Initial Inspection
