SI-111-PW Infrared Radiometer for Prewired Enclosures
Services Available

Overview

The SI-111-PW, manufactured by Apogee, is a version of our SI-111 that is fitted with a connector for attachment to a prewired enclosure. This precision infrared radiometer determines the surface temperature of an object without physical contact. The SI-111-PW measures both the subject's surface temperature and the sensor-body temperature. A Campbell Scientific datalogger uses these measurements to calculate the correct temperature of the subject.

Benefits and Features

  • Cable connects directly with a prewired enclosure
  • Compatible with most Campbell Scientific data loggers
  • Measures surface temperature continuously in the field
  • Provides road surface, plant canopy, soil surface, snow surface, and water surface temperature measurements
  • Avoids influencing the temperature, providing more accurate measurements
  • Ideal for providing spatial averages
  • Rugged construction—two temperature probes housed in an aluminum body with a germanium window

Detailed Description

The SI-111-PW consists of a thermopile, which measures surface temperature, and a thermistor, which measures sensor body temperature. The two temperature sensors are housed in a rugged aluminum body that contains a germanium window.

Both the thermopile and the thermistor output a millivolt signal that most of our data loggers can measure. The data logger uses the Stefan-Boltzman equation to correct for the effect of sensor body temperature on the target temperature. The corrected readings yield an absolute accuracy of ±0.2°C from -10° to +65°C.

Field of View (FOV)

The SI-111-PW has a 22-degree half-angle field of view (FOV). The FOV is reported as the half-angle of the apex of the cone formed by the target (cone base) and the detector (cone apex). The target is a circle from which 98% of the radiation viewed by the detector is being emitted.

Additional Compatibility Information

Mounting

The SI-111-PW is often fastened to a CM200-series crossarm, a tripod or tower mast, or a user-supplied pole using a CM230, CM230XL, or CM220 mount. The CM230 and CM230XL are adjustable inclination mounts that allow the SI-111-PW to be mounted perpendicular to the target surface when the target surface is on an incline. The CM230XL is similar to the CM230, but the CM230XL places the SI-111-PW further from the pole or crossarm. The SI-111-PW may also be attached directly to a user-supplied camera tripod.

Connections

The cable on the SI-111-PW is fitted with a connector that attaches to a prewired enclosure.
