Operation of Heater (SP-230)

Apogee model SP-230 pyranometers have an internal heater to allow for sensor heating during precipitation

events or under conditions of dew, frost, and snow deposition. The heater is designed to keep the water (liquid

and frozen) off the diffuser, though it does not need to be used in order to make measurements of shortwave

radiation. However, if the diffuser has water on the surface, errors can result. Continuously powering the heater

under conditions that do not require heating will not damage the sensor or influence measurements.

calibration at an air mass of 1.5.
