Page 5: Initial Inspection And Shipping Procedures
QSR-2200 / QCR-2200 User’s Manual QSR_QCR2200_Manual.DOC INITIAL INSPECTION AND SHIPPING PROCEDURES This instrument was carefully inspected mechanically and electrically, and was calibrated before shipment. It should be free of mars or scratches and in perfect operating condition upon receipt. To confirm this, the instrument should be inspected for physical damage incurred in transit. -
Page 6: Introduction
Note: Due to geometric differences, data collected with this cosine sensor is not easily compared with scalar irradiance measurements. In order to fully understand the capabilities of the QSR-2200 and QCR-2200, the user should read this manual carefully and thoroughly. The manual includes operating instructions, precautions, and compatibility notes that can help the user adapt the instrument to a specific application. -

QSR-2200 / QCR-2200 User’s Manual QSR DIRECTIONAL RESPONSE: Each instrument's directional response is optimized before final calibration. The response is a constant ±7%, between 0 to approximately 135 in zenith angle, with response falling off to zero as the light field is obscured by the instrument housing. -
Page 8: Installation, Operation, And Maintenance Procedures
Note that the QSR-2200 features a circular irradiance shield or "cut-off plate" that blocks irradiance from the lower hemisphere of the collector so as to permit monitoring of only total irradiance from the sun and sky. -
Page 9: Maintenance
QSR-2200 / QCR-2200 User’s Manual 3.3 MAINTENANCE QSR-2200 When the sensor is mounted outside for long periods of time, it is important to periodically clean the collector. While cleaning the QSR-2200 scalar sphere and shield, do not attempt to rotate or remove the collector sphere or the calibration of the sensor will be altered. -
Page 10: Appendix: Theory Of Operation
QSR-2200 / QCR-2200 User’s Manual APPENDIX: THEORY OF OPERATION THEORY OF OPERATION ® QSR-2200 The Teflon sphere on the instrument serves as the irradiance collector. Light penetrating the surface of the sphere is diffused as it passes toward the center. A quartz optical conductor is inserted into the sphere to collect the diffuse light from the sphere and guide it to the filter and detector assembly.
