- BF5 Sunshine Sensor
- Product Detail
- Company Profile
The BF5 Sunshine Sensor is a versatile, multi-purpose solar radiation sensor. It uses an array of photodiodes with a unique computer-generated shading pattern to measure incident solar radiation. A microprocessor calculates the global and diffuse components of the radiation and determines the sunshine state. The BF5 Sunshine Sensor is protected by patents EP 1012633 and US 6417500.
Specification
For simultaneous outputs of total radiation, diffuse radiation and sunshine status. Output can be pre-set to PAR, Energy or Lux units.
