LI-COR LI-200R Solar Radiation Sensors

The LI‑200R measures total solar radiation with an unfiltered silicon photodiode. Although the LI‑200R does not measure the total solar spectrum, its measurements correspond closely to first-class thermopiles under outdoor conditions.

The crown of the sensor rapidly sheds water, reducing pooling around the sensor. It also physically blocks light that is outside the hemisphere of sensitivity, providing precise cosine response.

Ideal for agricultural, meteorological, solar energy, and environmental research, it is available with a variety of cable lengths and output signals for compatibility with most data loggers.

  • Absolute Calibration: Calibrated against an Eppley Precision Spectral Pyranometer (PSP) under natural daylight conditions. Absolute uncertainty under these conditions is ±3% typical; ±5% maximum.
  • Sensitivity: Typically 90 μA per 1,000 W m-2
  • Linearity: Maximum deviation of 1% up to 3,000 W m-2
  • Response Time: Less than 1μs (2 m cable terminated into a 147 Ohm load)
  • Temperature Dependence: ± 0.15% per °C maximum
  • Cosine Correction: Cosine corrected up to 82° angle of incidence
  • Azimuth: < ± 1% error over 360° at 45° elevation
  • Tilt: No error induced from orientation
  • Detector: High stability silicon photovoltaic detector (blue enhanced)
  • Sensor Housing: Weatherproof anodized aluminum body with acrylic diffuser and stainless steel hardware; O-ring seal on the sensor base
  • Size: 2.36 cm diameter × 3.63 cm (0.93” × 1.43”)
  • Weight: 24 g head; 60 g base and cable (2 m) with screws
  • Cable Length: 2 m, 5 m, 15 m, 50 m (6.5’, 16.4’, 49.2’, 164’)
Questions & Answers
Does this sensor come calibrated?
Yes. LI-COR sensors are factory-calibrated prior to shipping and will include a calibration certificate.
Will the LI-COR 2320 mV adapter work with the LI-200R-BNC-2 sensor?
No, the 2320 millivolt adapter is designed to be used with the LI-200 SMV Pyranometer and is matched to a particular sensor. These two serial numbers must match.
How often does this sensor need calibrated and can that be performed by Fondriest Environmental?
The LI-200R sensors cannot be calibrated by the user and will need to be sent back to the factory for re-calibration, about every 2 years.

With A Modular Update, LI-COR Terrestrial Light Sensors Shine

For environmental professionals looking to measure light, the sun’s energy or photosynthetically active radiation, there is no better choice than LI-COR’s all-new line of terrestrial light sensors. The series, including the LI-190R, LI-200R and LI-210R, has been redesigned from the ground up and is more convenient, reliable and durable than ever before. The new design centers on a modular setup that lets users detach the sensor head from the base. This makes it possible to swap out sensor heads for calibration or to measure different light parameters. In addition, it adds to project flexibility, saving users time and money.

Lake Malawi: A Treasure to Protect

Lake Malawi (also known as Lake Nyasa and Lake Niassa) doubles as a Rift Valley Lake and one of the seven African Great Lakes. Due to its unique biodiversity, it’s a great place to conduct limnological studies. Harvey Bootsma is a professor for the School of Freshwater Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and has had an interest in limnology ever since he was a kid. Bootsma fondly recalls summer vacations to Georgian Bay, Ontario, “I probably spent as much time in the water as I did out of it.” He continues, "I remember telling myself, ‘I’m going to get a job where I can stay here all the time.’” While Harvey didn’t end up working on Georgian Bay, he was offered a job working on Lake Malawi. He continued working there while completing his Ph.D.

Microbes and Human Health: Aquatic Microbial Communities May Hold Clues about How Deadly Pathogens Spread

Aquatic ecosystems are incredibly complex, with many different biotic and abiotic factors constantly interacting. Microbial communities are a key part of aquatic ecosystems, involved in the constant flow of energy and recycling of organic matter, according to Science Direct .  The true scope of microbial community impacts on aquatic ecosystems is still not entirely understood. Eric Benbow, a professor of community ecology at Michigan State University, is exploring how microbial communities and pathogens may be negatively impacting human health, and how a changing climate could worsen this problem.  How Do Pathogens Arise? Benbow, along with his students and colleagues, are studying a realm of community ecology that is still relatively unknown.
