Pyrgeometer with heater IR02

Product catalog summary
Introduction
IR02 is a pyrgeometer designed for measuring longwave irradiance in meteorological applications. It features a heater to prevent dew and frost, enhancing measurement accuracy. This makes it popular in agricultural networks.

Specifications
The IR02 measures longwave radiation from a 150° field of view, with a spectral range of 4.5 to 42 x 10-6 m. It has a response time of 18 seconds and a nominal sensitivity of 15 x 10-6 V/(W/m2). The operating temperature range is -40 to +80 °C, with calibration traceable to the World Infrared Standard Group (WISG).

Design and Features
The IR02 includes a thermal sensor with black coating, a flat silicon window with a solar-blind filter, and an anodized aluminum body. It connects easily to data logging systems, and its heater prevents condensation on the window.

Applications
Suggested uses include general meteorological observations, climatological networks, and agricultural warning networks for frost.

Options and Alternatives
Options include longer cables and an IR02-TR model with 4–20 mA output. Alternatives include the IR20 for higher accuracy and the NR01 net radiometer.

About Hukx
Hukx is a leader in solar radiation and heat flux sensor technology, headquartered in the Netherlands with global offices. They offer comprehensive support from design to recalibration.

Pyrgeometer with heater IR02-2

IR02 is a pyrgeometer used for longwave irradiance measurements in meteorological applications. The instrument can be heated, which improves measurement accuracy by mitigating dew and frost deposition on its window. Because of features like this, IR02 is popular and often used in agricultural networks. IR02 measures the longwave or far-infrared radiation (FIR) received by a plane surface, in W/m2, from a field of view angle of approximately 150 °. Longwave radiation is the portion of atmospheric radiation not emitted by the sun. While the actual field of view angle is not the ideal 180 °, the...

Pyrgeometer with heater IR02-3

The IR02 pyrgeometer has a high sensitivity. With sufficient input signal, a typical data logger no longer contributes to the uncertainty of the measurement. It also houses an on-board heater that prevents condensation on the pyrgeometer window, which can otherwise cause significant measurement errors. Calibration of pyrgeometers used for downward longwave radiation is traceable to the World Infrared Standard Group (WISG). This calibration takes into account the spectral properties of downward longwave radiation. Operation Using IR02 is easy. It connects directly to commonly used data logging...
