Hukseflux - Model SRA200-D1 - Industrial Class A Albedometer - Brochure

An albedometer is an instrument that measures both global and reflected solar radiation and, by calculation, the solar albedo, or solar reflectance for a particular ground surface. An albedometer is composed of two pyranometers, both installed horizontally, the downfacing one measuring reflected solar radiation. Using the albedometer is easy. The irradiance in W/m² is transmitted via the Modbus protocol over 2-wire RS-485. The working principle and specifications of the pyranometers can be found in the pyranometer user manuals. The pyranometers can be connected directly to commonly used data logging and SCADA systems. To create an albedometer, two sensors are combined with one AMF03 albedometer mounting kit. AMF03 includes a fixture with a rod for mounting purposes and a glare screen. The user assembles these modular components into an albedometer. The modular design facilitates maintenance and calibration.
