SI-131 Ultra-Narrow FOV Infrared Radiometer
Apogee infrared radiometers are the most accurate non-contact temperature sensors available anywhere. The SI-131 has a 14 degree half angle field of view. The sensor has tinned leads for connecting to a datalogger. Applications include measuring the temperatures of road surfaces, plant canopies, and soil, snow and water surfaces. Measurement of surface temperature is a crucial component of energy transfer. Accurate measurement of the leaf-to-air temperature gradient is essential to the determination of transpiration rate and stomatal conductance in both single leaves and plant canopies.
If you are using any SI-100 series sensor with Campbell Scientific Dataloggers, please view the three notices from Campbell Scientific and Apogee to the right.
Model SI-131 FOV = 14.0°
The SI-100 series sensors measure the temperatures of road surfaces, plant canopies, and soil, snow and water surfaces.
• Measures surface temperature rapidly
• Calibrated target temperature range from -30 to 65°C
• Uncertainty of 0.2°C (95% confidence)
• 8-14 µm germanium atmospheric window
• Radiation shield included
• Multiple field of view (FOV) options
• Rugged and lightweight
Field of View (FOV) is reported as the half-angle of the apex of the cone formed by the target (cone base) and the detector (cone apex). The target is a circle from which 98% of the radiation being viewed by the detector is being emitted.

Infrared Radiometer/Frost Detector Mounting Bracket
The AM-210 mounting bracket is designed to orient sensors at varying angles to satisfy all applications. The bracket can be mounted to a mast or pipe with an outer diameter of 1.3 to 2.1 inches, while the sensor bracket will accommodate sensors with an outer diameter of 1.0 to 1.5 inches (e.g. SI-100 series and SF-110).
