NR01 Four-Component Net Radiation Sensor
4.2 Electrical Connections
The NR01 is a passive sensor that does not need any power. However there is
an on-board heating resistor in the pyrgeometer connection body that may be
switched on to prevent dew deposition.
Cables generally act as a source of signal distortion by picking up capacitively
coupled noise. Campbell Scientific generally recommends keeping the distance
between the datalogger and sensor as short as possible. For cable extension,
see Appendix A. Table 4-2 provides the electrical connections of the NR01.

NOTES:
(1) + connections of radiometers give + signal when radiation comes in.
(2) Pt100 red and white end at same side of the sensor (both +)
(3) Pt100 and heater polarity are not critical.
