New and improved PAR Quantum Sensor: PQS 1
Published: Wednesday, July 28, 2010
We proudly present our latest development for light measurement in agronomy and horticulture: the PQS 1 PAR Quantum Sensor. An improved and user-friendly instrument for the measurement of Photosynthetically Active Radiation. PAR is that part of the light spectrum which plants use for growth processes and is an important parameter for your horticultural and forestry applications.
PQS 1 features a much improved responsivity, providing an excellent match with the ideal PAR spectrum. This significantly increases the measurement accuracy over the previous PAR Lite and rivals the best comparable instruments.
An integrated base with leveling screws, bubble level and fixing holes makes it even easier to install and maintain. The screw-in mounting rod is available as an accessory. The instrument is fitted with our familiar yellow captive cable, available in lengths of 5 m and 15 m.
The acronym PAR has been explained above, ‘Quantum’ refers to the responsivity of the instrument. In many parts of the world the term quantum is used to indicate an instrument which has the specific sensitivity to wavelengths within the PAR region of the light spectrum.
PQS 1 PAR Quantum Sensor replaces our PAR Lite with improved accuracy, installation and ease of use.
