Hukseflux SR11 & SR12 First Class Solar Radiation sensors
The SR11 is a scientific grade solar radiation sensor. It complies with the "first class" specifications of the latest ISO and WMO standards.
The SR11 measures the solar radiation flux that is incident on a plane surface in W/m2 from a 180 degrees field of view (also called "global" solar radiation). Working completely passively, using a thermopile sensor, the SR11 generates a small output voltage proportional to this flux.
By employing two glass domes, measurement errors are reduced; in particular thermal offsets. Individual calibration factors are supplied with each instrument. The SR11 can be connected to most commonly used datalogging systems that can read a millivolt input. The SR11 is used for scientific meteorological observations, building physics, climate and solar collector testing. Levelling feet and a level are included. Cable can easily be installed or replaced by the user.
Applicable standards are ISO 9060 and 9847, WMO (World Meteorological Organisation), and ASTM E824-94. SR11 can also be used for stability estimations according to EPA ( EPA-454/R-99-005).
