Why Buy From Grow Tents Depot
Description
  • MQ-500 Quantum Meter: This device is favored by scientists worldwide for accurately measuring photosynthetically active radiation from all types of light sources. It features a handheld meter, connected through a cable, that displays and stores measurements. The sensor includes an enhanced blue silicon photodiode, custom optical filters, and a sturdy, self-cleaning sensor housing design, with an anodized aluminum body and acrylic diffuser.
  • Typical Applications: The meter is typically used for PPFD measurement over plant canopies in settings like outdoor environments, greenhouses, and growth chambers. It can also measure reflected or under-canopy (transmitted) PPFD in the same contexts. These quantum sensors are also utilized for measuring PAR/PPFD in aquatic environments, such as saltwater aquariums for coral growth.
  • Functional Modes: The meter is equipped with a sample and log mode. It can record integrated daily totals in mol m-2 d-1. Sample mode allows the recording of up to 99 manual measurements. In log mode, the meter will automatically power on/off to record a measurement every 30 seconds. It averages the sixty 30-second measurements every 30 minutes and stores the value. The meter can hold up to 99 averages, and once full, it begins to replace the oldest measurements. An integrated daily total is recorded from these 48 average measurements.
  • Data Download and Review: You can review sample and log measurements on the LCD display or download the data to a computer. However, the integrated daily total can only be accessed through a computer data download. To do this, you'll need the AC-100 communication cable (standard USB cables are not compatible) and ApogeeAMS software.
  • Recommended for LED Lights: Apogee suggests the MQ-500 for reading LED lights. If you're using the meter for underwater measurements, a correction factor for immersion effect is provided on a designated page.
