Get precise light intensity measurements

Measures light intensity for frequencies relevant for photosynthesis. This sensor has a measurement range of 0 to 2500 umol/m2/sec over wavelengths from 400 to 700 nm. Enclosed in a anodized aluminum housing with acrylic diffuser and o-ring seal, this model has a 3m cable. A light sensor bracket and light sensor level are recommended.

The photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) smart sensor is designed to work with HOBO® stations. The smart sensor has a plug-in modular connector that allows it to be added easily to a station. All calibration parameters are stored inside the smart sensor, which automatically communicates configuration information to the logger without any programming, calibration, or extensive user setup.

Also available in a wireless model for use with the HOBOnet Field Monitoring System


Features

  • Measurement range of 0 to 2500 umol/m2/sec over wavelengths from 400 to 700 nm
  • Plug-n-play smart sensor
  • Compatible with RX, H21, H22, and U30 family loggers
