Care should be taken when opening the shipping package to not damage or cut the cable jacket. If damage to the cable is suspected, consult with a Campbell Scientific support and implementation engineer. Although the NR01 is rugged, it should be handled as a precision scientific • instrument.
NR01 Four-Component Net Radiation Sensor Overview The NR01 is a four-component net-radiometer consisting of two pyranometers of type SR01, two pyrgeometers of type IR01, a heater, and a PT100 temperature sensor. The pyranometer measures solar radiation (short wave or SW) and the pyrgeometer measures far infrared (long wave or LW) radiation.
From these also parameter like SW albedo, sky temperature, (ground) surface temperature and off course net radiation (net value of all SW and LW fluxes) can be calculated. The NR01 requires leveling; a two-axis leveling facility is incorporated in the design. See Section 6, Installation (p. 7) The NR01 is supplied with four separate instrument sensitivities.
Separate outputs of short wave and long wave infrared radiation for better accuracy and more thorough quality assurance • Robust—only requiring limited maintenance Compatible with Campbell Scientific CRBasic data loggers: CR6 • series, CR1000, CR1000X series, CR3000, CR5000, and CR9000(X). The CR1000X, CR1000, and CR9000(X) require the 4WPB100 PRT Bridge Module to measure the internal RTD.

A level is located under the radiation screens. Mounting The NR01 has a hole suitable for a 1-inch IPS pipe (33 mm diameter) for mounting the NR01 onto a CM204 or CM206 crossarm. The crossarm can be mounted to any pole with a 25-mm to 54-mm outer diameter. However, for most applications, Campbell Scientific recommends attaching the crossarm to a CM310-series pole so that the sensor is above vegetation.
6.3.1 Cable 1 Connections The NR01 has two cables. Cable 1 connects the four radiation outputs to either differential or single-ended terminals on the data logger (TABLE 6-2). A differential voltage measurement is recommended because it has better noise rejection than a single-ended measurement.

6.6.1 Pyranometer/Pyrgeometer Measurements The NR01 outputs four voltages that typically range from 0 to 50 mV for the SR01 pyranometers, and ±5 mV for the IR01 pyrgeometer. These voltages are measured by using either the VoltDiff() CRBasic instruction or VoltSE() CRBasic instruction.
Deviations within ±10% can be tolerated. For optimal testing of pyrgeometers, the test should be repeated on a clear night. Operation Measurement Principle The NR01 typically measures net-radiation. The four components of net radiation are measured, and the net radiation is calculated: NOTE The temperature (T ) for the following formula is in Kelvin.
NR01 Four-Component Net Radiation Sensor = (LW /5.67.10 7-10 7.1.1 Pyranometers A pyranometer measures the solar or SW radiation flux from a field of view of 180 degrees. The atmospheric SW radiation spectrum extends roughly from 300 to 2800 nm. The pyranometer should cover that spectrum with a spectral sensitivity that is as flat as possible.
7-11 pyrano, up pyrano, up In case of the NR01, the pyranometer is type SR01. This is a second-class pyranometer according to the WMO and ISO classification system (ISO 9060). The atmospheric solar radiation consists of two components—direct radiation (in a beam from the sun) and diffuse radiation from the sky.
(emission coefficient of 1). For example, equation 7-13 calculates, in Kelvin, the sky temperature: = (LW /5.67.10 7-13 The NR01 pyrgeometers are type IR01. Pyrgeometers are not classified by the ISO or WMO.
NR01 Four-Component Net Radiation Sensor The atmospheric LW radiation essentially consists of two components: Low temperature radiation from the universe, filtered by the atmosphere. The atmosphere is transparent for this radiation in the so-called atmospheric window (around 10 to 15 micrometer wavelength).
At night, dew deposition may affect the downward facing pyrgeometer output. In that case, the signal may drop to 0 W/m producing a maximum error of +100 W/m . Campbell Scientific recommends activating the heater to avoid dew deposition. During the day, the window-heating offset may affect the downward facing pyrgeometer output. This can produce a...
NR01 Four-Component Net Radiation Sensor Maintenance and Troubleshooting Maintenance The NR01 requires little maintenance. Dirt should be cleaned off the domes every few weeks. Usually errors in functionality appear as unreasonably large or small measured values. See TABLE for specific maintenance recommendations.
NR01 Four-Component Net Radiation Sensor TABLE 8-2. Troubleshooting for the NR01 Typically, an error is due to either a short circuit or an open connection. Both can be detected by impedance / The sensor does resistance measurements at the cable end.

A.3 CR3000 Program that Controls the Heater This program applies power to the NR01 heater by using the SW12V relay controller and the pulse width modulation instruction (PWM ()). The program uses dewpoint as a set point for the heater. The CR3000 calculates dewpoint by using the relative humidity (RH) measurements provided by the EE181 Temperature/Relative Humidity Probe.
