Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)
Smart Sensor (Part # S-LIA-M003)
The Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) smart sensor is designed
®
to work with the HOBO
Weather Station logger. The smart sensor has a
plug-in modular connector that allows it to be added easily to a HOBO
Weather Station. All calibration parameters are stored inside the smart
sensor, which automatically communicates configuration information to
the logger without any programming, calibration, or extensive user setup.

This product meets CE specification EN61326 criterion C for ESD, criterion
C for Radiated Immunity, criterion B for Fast Transient, criterion A for
Conducted Immunity, and criterion A for Power Frequency Magnetic Fields.
To minimize measurement errors due to ambient RF, use the shortest
possible probe cable length and keep the probe cable as far as possible
from other cables.
