Description
CDG-12B QUANTUM PAR SENSOR
Overview
The CDG-12B PAR sensor measures solar radiation in the 400 to 700 nm wavelength range. It is easy to install and works in all weather conditions. When sunlight is present, the silicon photo detector makes a voltage output. This output depends on how bright the light is that hits the sensor.
Its sensitivity depends on the cosine of the angle of the incoming light. Each product has its own sensitivity coefficient. The PAR sensor can directly show the radiation value in μmol/m²*s.
Key Features
• Measures both PPFD (0–5000 μmol/m²·s) and irradiance (0–1500 W/m²)
• Optimized for the 400–700 nm photosynthetically active radiation
• 1 μmol/m²·s resolution, ±2%/year long-term stability
• Standard RS485 with MODBUS RTU protocol, with optional 4–20mA or 0–5V
• Durable, Weatherproof Design
