  • Page 1 OWNER’S MANUAL SOLAR RADIATION METER Part # XLE-HHLM-VISNIR-360NM.1200NM-V1 Larson Electronics, LLC Phone: (800) 369-6671 Fax: (903) 498-3364 www.larsonelectronics.com...
  • Page 2 Larson Electronics series solar radiation meters consist of a handheld meter and a dedicated pyranometer that is integrated into the top of the meter housing or connected by cable to an anodized aluminum housing. Integrated and separate sensors consist of a cast acrylic diffuser (filter), photodiode, and are potted solid with no internal air space.

    UV stability, flexibility in cold conditions) Calibration Traceability Larson Electronics solar radiation meters are calibrated through side-by-side comparison to the mean of four transfer standard pyranometers (shortwave radiation reference) under high intensity discharge metal halide lamps. The transfer standard pyranometers are calibrated through side-by-side comparison to the mean of at least two ISO-classified reference pyranometers under sunlight (clear sky conditions) in Logan, Utah.
  • Page 4 -10 to 50 C under sunlight. Each pyranometer had an internal thermistor to measure temperature. At each temperature set point, a reference blackbody pyranometer was used to measure solar intensity. Larson Electronics, LLC Phone: (800) 369-6671 Fax: (903) 498-3364 www.larsonelectronics.com...

    The meter can store up to 99 averages and will start to overwrite the oldest measurement once there are 99 measurements. Every 48 averaged measurements (making a 24 hour period), the meter will also store an integrated daily total in mega joules per square meter per day (MJ m Larson Electronics, LLC Phone: (800) 369-6671 Fax: (903) 498-3364...
  • Page 7 Spectral Errors for Measurements with Silicon-cell Pyranometers Larson Electronics solar radiation meters are calibrated under electric lamps in a calibration laboratory. The calibration procedure simulates calibration under clear sky conditions at a solar zenith angle of approximately 45°. However, due to the limited spectral sensitivity of silicon-cell pyranometers compared to the solar radiation spectrum (see graph below), spectral errors occur when measurements are made in conditions that differ from conditions the sensor was calibrated under (e.g., the solar spectrum differs in clear sky and cloudy conditions, thus...

    Step 3: After a few seconds, slide the battery back into the holder. The LCD display will flash all segments and then show a revision number (e.g. “R1.0”). This indicates the master reset was performed and the display should return to normal. Larson Electronics, LLC Phone: (800) 369-6671 Fax: (903) 498-3364...
