Page 3: Introduction
INTRODUCTION The LPPYRA05 albedometer measures the net global radiation, as well as the albedo of grounds (albedo is the ratio between diffuse radiation from a determined surface and the quantity of radiation that arrives on the surface). The LPPYRA05 is manufactured mounting two LPPYRA02 pyranometers in one housing only. -
Page 4: Working Principle
2 WORKING PRINCIPLE The LPPYRA05 albedometer is based on a pair of thermopile sensors, one of them measuring the incident radiation on the ground [ ↓ ] and the other one the reflected radiation [ ↑ ]. Each thermopile works as an independent pyranometer. The thermo- pile sensitive surface is coated with a black matt paint, which allows the pyranometer not to be selective at different wave lengths. -

3 INSTALLATION Before installing the albedometer, refill the cartridge containing silica-gel crystals. Sili- ca gel absorbs humidity in the dome chamber and prevents, in particular climatic con- ditions, condensation on the internal walls of the domes and measurement alteration. Do not touch the silica gel crystals with your hands while refilling the cartridge. Carry out the following instructions in an environment as drier as possible: 1. - Page 6 • Mount the albedometer 1 – 2 m above the ground. Grass should be kept at the same height all the year long. In snowy regions, keep the instrument above the blanket of snow so that the distance from the albedometer to the snow be constant. •...

4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS LPPYRA05 has a 8-pole connector and uses the CPM12AA8... optional cables, with 8-pole connector on one side and open wires on the other side. The metallic housing of the albedometer should preferably be grounded ( ) locally. In this case, do not connect the wire of the cable corresponding to the housing to prevent ground loops. -
Page 8: Measurement
5 MEASUREMENT Each albedometer is distinguished by its own sensitivity (or calibration factor) S ex- pressed in µV/(Wm ) and shown in the label on the albedometer (and in the calibra- tion report). The sensitivity S is the same for both pyranometers. The irradiance E is obtained by measuring with a multimeter the difference of potential DDP at the ends of the sensor and applying the following formula:... -
Page 9: Maintenance
6 MAINTENANCE In order to grant measurements high accuracy, it is important to keep the outer glass domes clean. Consequently, the more the domes will be kept clean, the more meas- urements will be accurate. You can wash it using water and standard papers for lens. If necessary, use pure ETHYL alcohol. -
