RS485 Photoelectric Solar Radiation Sensor (400-1100nm)

The RS485 Photoelectric Solar Radiation Sensor measures solar radiation effectively within the spectral range of 400 to 1100nm, adapting the photoelectric principle to efficiently convert sunlight into electrical signals. It incorporates a highly sensitive photosensitive element, which, together with its wide-spectrum absorption capability, ensures precise solar radiation measurements. This is beneficial for any application requiring accurate light intensity data, be it monitoring plant growth or improving solar panel efficiency.

The device comes with an integrated dust cover that offers transmittance of up to 95%, minimizing interference from environmental factors. This characteristic improves the overall measurement accuracy and makes it reliable for consistent data collection in various conditions. The wide voltage range of DC 5 to 30V makes it adaptable to different power supply systems, enhancing its versatility across multiple installation setups.

Operating with the Modbus-RTU protocol via RS485, the sensor easily integrates with various data acquisition systems, such as Arduino. This feature provides a seamless interface for collecting and analyzing solar radiation data in real-time, allowing for more informed decision-making processes. Its high-precision photosensitive elements ensure sensitivity and accuracy across a broad spectrum, from 400 to 1100nm, making it well-suited for applications in diverse fields, including agriculture, meteorology, and solar energy studies.

The product is encased in a durable metal aluminum shell with an IP67 rating, ensuring long-term reliability even in harsh outdoor environments. It effectively withstands dust, moisture, and other environmental challenges, thanks to the specially treated dust cover that minimizes particle absorption. This robust design assures both durability and high performance, making the sensor a long-lasting solution for outdoor solar radiation measurement needs.
