Sunshine Recorder acc. to Campbell-Stokes

Registers the sunshine duration over one day. A cut glass sphere focuses the sun's rays and leave an image line on the strip chart. The length of the image corresponds to the duration of sunshine. The shipment includes the following charts:
140 sheets for summer, 140 sheets for winter, 100 sheets for spring and autumn.

Sunshine Indicator SDE

Instrument to measure the global radiation and the sunshine duration.
The threshold of sunshine duration is stated by the German Weather Service (DWD) with 120 W/m². The sensor delivers a digital Yes-/No-information for the sunshine duration and a voltage as information for the global radiation. The measurement is cos-corrected.
Delivery includes calibration certificate.
Sonnenscheinindikator
Sunshine Duration - Sensor CSD3

Instrument to measure the sunshine duration and direct radiation. The sunshine duration is defined as period, in which the direct solar radiation exceeds the threshold of > 120 W/m². The sensor sends a digital Yes/No-information for the sunshine duration, and a voltage as information for the direct radiation. Delivery includes a test certificate.
