Overview

Davis 6450 Solar Radiation Sensor measures solar radiation and is required (along with an anemometer and a temperature/humidity sensor) if you wish to monitor evapotranspiration.

The diffuser element and housing are carefully designed for accurate cosine response. Its silicon photodiode provides a good match to the solar spectrum while the two-piece housing minimizes radiation heating, allows convection cooling of the sensor, and prevents the trapping of water or dust.

The Davis 6450 Solar Radiation Sensor is compatible with both the original Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2. This Solar Radiation sensor is already included with Davis 6162AU Vantage Pro2 Plus and Davis 6163AU Vantage Pro2 Plus Fan Aspirated.
