Detailed Description
The LI190SB measures solar radiation with a silicon photovoltaic detector mounted in a cosine-corrected head. A shunt resistor in the sensor’s cable converts the signal from microamps to millivolts, allowing the LI190SB to be measured directly by a Campbell Scientific datalogger.
LI190SB accurately measures Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD), which is the number of photons in the 400 to 700 nm waveband incident per unit time on a unit surface. Because PPFD describes photosynthetic activity, the LI190SB is ideal for growth chambers and greenhouses.

Additional Compatibility Information
Mounts
To ensure accurate measurements, the sensor should be leveled using an LI2003S leveling fixture, which incorporates a bubble level and three adjusting screws. The LI2003S leveling fixture mounts to a tripod or tower using the CM225 mount. The LI190SB should be mounted away from all obstructions and reflective surfaces that might adversely effect the measurement.
Data Logger Considerations
The LI190SB requires one differential analog input channel per probe.
