Installing the LI-190R Quantum Sensor
in Biomet Systems
The LI-190R quantum sensor (part number 7900-190) meas-
ures photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). Here we
provide basic installation and operation instructions for
using the LI-190R in a LI-COR biomet data acquisition sys-
tem.
LI-190R Specifications:
Spectral response:
400 to 700 nm
Energy range:
0 to 2000 µmol/m
Absolute calibration: ±5%
Output signal:
0 to 20 µA
Linearity:
Maximum deviation of 1% up to
10,000 μmol s
Cosine correction:
Up to 80° angle of incidence
Azimuth error:
<1% over 360° at a 45° elevation angle
Cable lengths:
5 and 50 meters
Siting the quantum sensor
Position the LI-190R so it will never be under a shadow,
either from the surrounding landscape elements or from the
tower itself. Mount the sensor on the tower to minimize
reflected radiation that is visible to the sensor.

Mounting the quantum sensor
Mount the LI-190R in the mounting and leveling fixture
(2003S). Attach the 2003S to the 7900-350 radiation sensor
bracket and level the 2003S. Secure the cable to the tower
using zip-ties.
Wiring the quantum sensor
The bare leads connect directly to the DAqM.

  • Page 2 Do not use alcohol, organic solvents, strong deter- gents, abrasive solvents, or abrasive cloth on the diffuser. Return the sensor to LI-COR for factory recalibration every two years. Contact technical support for more information. Select a program (Biomet Library) and then enter the cal- ibration multiplier from the calibration sheet.
