    Overview

    PAR sensor provides accurate measurement of photosynthetically active radiation within a 400–700 nm spectral range and a wide measurement range of 0-2500 μmol/m²·s. Designed with a high-precision silicon photodetector and durable metal housing, it offers high sensitivity, stable performance, and reliable operation under harsh outdoor conditions. With multiple output options including RS485, 4-20 mA, 0-2 V, 0-5 V, and 0-10 V, the SUCH radiation sensor integrates easily with data loggers and monitoring systems. Its versatile mounting design and −30°C to +75°C operating temperature make it ideal for agriculture, greenhouse control, environmental monitoring, and scientific research applications.

    Feature

    • High-Precision Photosensitive Element: Photosynthetically active radiation sensor uses a silicon photodetector with a 400-700 nm optical filter to ensure high sensitivity and accurate measurement.
    • Easy Installation: The radiation sensor base includes six mounting holes—three for leveling screws and three for fixing the unit onto the support structure.
    • Durable Metal Housing: Made of robust metal materials for long-term reliability in outdoor environments.
    • Strong Waterproof Performance: Corrosion-resistant exterior designed to withstand harsh weather conditions for extended outdoor use.
    • High Sensitivity: Delivers rapid and responsive irradiance detection with stable performance.
    • Accurate Measurement: Ensures consistent, precise radiation readings suitable for scientific and industrial applications.
    • Convenient Integration: Directly compatible with digital voltmeters or data acquisition systems.

    FAQ
    ❯

    A PAR sensor measures the amount of photosynthetically active radiation reaching a surface, usually expressed in µmol/m²·s. It is essential for evaluating plant growth environments.

    ❯

    PAR directly influences photosynthesis efficiency, which affects plant growth rate, biomass production, flowering, and yield.

    ❯

    No. Lux measures brightness as perceived by the human eye, while PAR measures photons used by plants. They cannot be directly converted without specific spectral information.
