OPERATION AND MEASUREMENT
Connect the sensor to a measurement device (meter, datalogger, controller) capable of measuring and displaying a
4-20 mA signal. To maximize measurement resolution and signal-to-noise ratio, the input range of the
measurement device should closely match the output range of the quantum sensor. DO NOT connect the sensor
to a power source greater than 24 V DC.
Sensor Calibration
Apogee SQ-514 sensors have a standard PPFD calibration factor of exactly:
Multiply this calibration factor by the measured mA signal to convert to PPFD in units of µmol m
