Apogee Thermopile Pyranometers


SP-510, SP-610, CS320

Apogee's new cost-effective thermopile pyranometers features a blackbody thermopile detector that provides a much broader and more uniform spectral response for better performance in all atmospheric conditions compared to silicon cell pyranometers.

It compares favorably to other thermopile pyranometers at a fraction of the cost. Applications include shortwave radiation measurement in agricultural, ecological, and hydrological weather networks, measurement of global solar radiation, and optimizing photovoltaic systems.

The model SP-510 is a traditional upward looking model, while the SP-610 is downward looking to measure reflected shortwave radiation from terrestrial surfaces.

Accessories

Leveling Bases & Mounting

A leveling base must always be used to keep the sensor at the correct sun angle.

There are different depending on your mounting system, and if you are using a meter or sensor on cable.

Please ask for advice for the correct model.

Carry Case The AA-100 carry case is an optional accessory for protecting meters in the field
Sensor Wands

The AM-310 is for placing sensors in difficult to access places, such as underwater or under canopy.
