1. Introduction
This four-component net radiometer, manufactured by Apogee Instruments, provides individual
measurement of net radiation components. This sensor features an SDI-12 output, eliminating
the need for multiple analog channels to measure the individual components of net radiation.
The SN500SS offers a complete package that includes a net radiometer, mounting rod, pigtail
lead cable for data logger interface, and a carrying case.
