MQ-501 is designed as an easy to use hand-held instrument for spot check and measurement. The instrument includes AM-001 instrument mounting bracket for mounting the sensor on the horizontal surface of the instrument, and approximately 0.17 m of cable to accommodate the length of the bracket. The full spectrum sensor adopts blue enhanced silicon photodiode and customized filter, with a solid self-cleaning sensor housing design, anodized aluminum body and acrylic diffuser. Typical applications include PPFD measurement of plant canopy in outdoor environment, greenhouse and growth chamber, and PPFD measurement of reflection or under canopy (transmission) in the same environment.
The instrument has sampling and logging modes and will record in mol m ˉ² d ˉ¹ Is the comprehensive daily total amount in units. The sampling mode will record up to 99 manual measurements. The logging mode will turn the instrument on/off and take measurements every 30 seconds. Every 30 minutes, the instrument will average 60 30 second measurements and record the average value into memory. The instrument can store up to 99 average values. Once it is full, it will begin to overwrite the old measured values with new ones. The combined daily total will be recorded from 48 average measurements (over a 24-hour period). The sample and log measurements can be viewed on the LCD screen or by downloading data to the computer, but the combined daily totals can only be viewed by downloading data to the computer. AC-100 communication cable (standard USB cable does not work) and Apogee AMS software are required to download data to the computer.
