INSTRUCTIONS IN ENGLISH | QUANTUM PAR LIGHT METER UNDERSTANDING COSINE RESPONSE (SUN ANGLE EFFECT): This meter is designed to accurately display light intensity readings +/- 80° from vertical. As illustrated in Fig. 2, less light is hitting your crop as the light source (sun) is tilted from vertical. This is called cosine effect and is accurately measured by the specially shaped diffuser on the top of the light sensor. Ideally a horizontally projected light source should show no available light for your crop regardless of its intensity. Conversely, a directly overhead light source will have...

INSTRUCTIONS EN FRANÇAIS | QUANTUM RPA LUXMÈTRE RPA, QU’EST-CE QUE C’EST: Ce mètre est conçu pour mesurer RPA en intérieur et en extérieur quel que soit la source de lumière. Il donne des bons résultats dans les serres, champs, et les applications R et D exigeant la lecture de lumière d’usage botanique. La réaction chimique de photosynthèse exige de la lumière. Contrairement aux luxmètres basés sur l’énergie, le quantum (quantité) des photons peut être mesuré puisqu’on le peut connecter directement pour le numéro de ces réactions chimiques qui se produisent. Le mesure de toute lumière...

INSTRUCTIONS EN FRANÇAIS | QUANTUM RPA LUXMÈTRE QU’EST-CE QUE C’EST RéPONSE EN COSINUS (EFFET DE L’ANGLE DE SOLEIL): Ce mètre est conçu pour précisement montrer la lecture de l’intensité lumineuse +/- 80° de verticale. Comme le montre le Fig. 2, moins de lumière atteint votre plante vu que la source de lumière (soleil) a une position verticale. Cela est défini comme effet cosinus et on le mesure d’un diffuseur spécialement conçu sur la partie supérieur du capteur de lumière. Idéalement, une source de lumière projeté horizontalement ne devrait montrer aucune lumière disponible quelle que...
