Plant photosynthetic transmitter

manual (analog type)

The photosynthetically active radiation sensor adopts the photoelectric sensing principle and can be
used to measure the photosynthetically active radiation in the spectral range of 400~700nm. The sensor
adopts high-precision photoelectric sensing elements, wide spectrum absorption, high absorption in the
range of 400-700nm, and good stability; when there is light, a voltage signal proportional to the incident
radiation intensity is generated, and its sensitivity is proportional to the incident light. The cosine of the
direct angle is proportional. The dust cover adopts special treatment to reduce dust adsorption,
effectively prevent environmental factors from interfering with internal components, and can measure the
amount of photosynthetically effective radiation more accurately.

Installation method
1. Use screws through the mounting holes on the sensor to fix the sensor on the mounting bracket
2. Make sure the device is parallel to the ground (adjust the hand screw and check the level of the
bubble to determine whether it is parallel)
3. After installation, remove the protective cover

Connection diagram

Calculation
Current (4-20mA) output type:
measuring value= ((PS max- PS intensity min)/(mA/max-mA/min)) *(output value-4)

for example, transmitter measuring range: 0-2500μmol

output value is 12mA.
measuring value= ((2500-0)/ (20-4)) *(12-4) =1250μmol

Voltage (0-5V/0-10V) output type:

measuring value= ((PS max- PS min))/(Vmax-Vmin)) *output value

for example, transmitter measuring range: 0-2500μmol

voltage type: 0~10V, output value is 4V.
measuring value= ((2500-0)/ (10-0)) *4 = 1000μmol
