Product Details

Overview of PP-500 packaging:

The PP-500 package includes an SP-510-SS upper optic thermo solar intensity meter sensor head with 30 cm cable, a microCache Bluetooth micrologger, an AA-090 neoprene sleeve, an additional 2545 microCache battery, and an AM-020 Apogee PVC sensor platform. Paired together, the two devices are powerful tools for monitoring photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) with research-grade accuracy for optimal plant growth.

The SP-510-SS sensor is typically used in shortwave radiation measurement in agricultural, ecological, and hydrological weather networks. The sensor is also used to optimize photovoltaic systems.

The new AT-100 microCache (μCache) micro-logger is a rugged, standalone, battery-powered device that can collect over 400,000 data points and connects your sensor to your iOS or Android device via Bluetooth using our free ApogeeConnect app. The app allows you to make real-time measurements, set custom datalogging intervals, monitor and graph daily lights integrals, assure photoperiods, download datasets, and more.
