Priva

Linear light sensor LS2 and LS2WI

Linear light sensor

The Linear light sensor measures the intensity of the (sun)light, but not the infrared heat radiation.
This sensor is therefore not suitable for energy calculations.
The Linear light sensor consists of a photodiode whose output current is dependent on the quantity
of light collected.
The Linear light sensor should preferably be mounted on the Meteorological station and connected
to a Priva process computer.
The Linear light sensor is supplied with a calibration certificate. If the calibration certificate
is missing then you can request a duplicate from Priva. You will need to state the Linear light
sensor's serial number.

Mounting

1. Place the four-core female connector of the housing on the four-core male connector of the
Linear light sensor.
2. Place the Linear light sensor in the housing and tighten the hexagon-head bolt on the underside
of the housing. Make sure that the cover drops into the lock.
3. Unscrew the two socket head screws (including clamping rings) on the underside of the housing
completely.
4. Guide the cable through the appropriate opening on the mast.
The Linear light sensor has a set position on the mast.
Avoid cast shadows at locations between 15° N and 15° S (near the Equator) mount the
sensor on a separate mast, on the upper support.
5. Mount the Linear light sensor with the two socket head screws (including clamping rings) on the
support of the mast.
6. Feed the cable through the hole in the clamp block assembly into the mast section so that the
cable re-emerges on the underside of the block.
