SI-111 and SI-111SS Precision Infrared
Radiometers
1. Introduction
The SI-111 and SI-111SS are precision infrared radiometers that determine the
surface temperature of an object without physical contact. They measure both
the surface temperature of the subject and the body temperature of the sensor.
A Campbell Scientific datalogger uses these measurements to calculate the
correct temperature of the subject.
The SI-111SS replaced the SI-111 in August 2018. The SI-111SS has a
stainless steel connector, a removable cable, different wiring, and a serial
number of 7283 or above. Both sensors are manufactured by Apogee
Instruments.
This manual provides information only for CRBasic dataloggers.

2. Precautions
•
section at the front of this
manual.
•
Although the SI-111 and SI-111SS are rugged, they are also highly precise
scientific instruments and should be handled as such.
•
Care should be taken when opening the shipping package to not damage or
cut the cable jacket. If damage to the cable is suspected, contact Campbell
Scientific.
3. Initial Inspection
•
Upon receipt of the sensor, inspect the packaging for any signs of shipping
damage and, if found, report the damage to the carrier in accordance with
policy. The contents of the package should also be inspected and a claim
filed if any shipping related damage is discovered.
•
The model number is printed on a label on the cable. Check this
information against the shipping documents to ensure the correct product
is received.
•
Each sensor is shipped with a calibration certificate that is unique for each
sensor. Cross check the serial number listed on the calibration certificate
against the serial number on your sensor to ensure that the given
calibration coefficients correspond to your sensor.
