Measure the LI200X with instruction Differential Voltage (P2). A schematic diagram of the LI200X is shown in Figure 3-1. The red lead is connected to the high side (H) of any differential channel. The black lead is connected to the corresponding low (L) side of the differential channel.
UNITS MULTIPLIER PROCESS in Table 4-1. Programming examples are given for both average and daily total solar radiation. Average The output from the LI200X is 0.2 kW m MJ m t * 0.0002 Total kJ m t * 0.2 Total 4.1 AVERAGE SOLAR RADIATION...

Be careful not to scratch the surface of the sensor. Recalibrate the LI200X every two years. Obtain an RMA number before returning the LI200X to Campbell Scientific, Inc. for recalibration. 6. CALIBRATION LI200X pyranometers output a current that is proportional to the incoming solar radiation.
A.1 LI200S PYRANOMETER LI200S pyranometers have a 100 ohm shunt resistor built into the cable. They can be directly measured by Campbell Scientific dataloggers. The input range and multipliers vary from one pyranometer to another. See Sections A.3 and A.4 for calculating the proper input range and multiplier.
APPENDIX A A.4. MULTIPLIER The multiplier converts the millivolt reading to engineering units. The most common units and equations to calculate the multiplier are listed in Table A.4-1. TABLE A.4-1. Multipliers Required for Average Flux and Total Flux Density for SI and English Units for a LI200S Pyranometer.
