Calibration Traceability

The PAR sensor in Apogee S2 series PAR-FAR sensors are calibrated through side-by-side comparison to the mean

of four transfer standard quantum sensors under a reference lamp. The transfer standard quantum sensors are

calibrated with a quartz halogen lamp traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The far-red sensor in Apogee S2 series PAR-FAR sensors are calibrated through side-by-side comparison to the

mean photon flux density of four transfer standard far red radiometers under far red LEDs (735 nm peak, 710-760

nm range). The transfer standard far red sensors are calibrated against a spectroradiometer (Apogee Instruments

model PS-300) under the same far red LEDs. The spectroradiometer is calibrated with a quartz halogen lamp

traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
