DANOPLUS DP-355 Quantum PAR Meter Instruction Manual

Modeli: DP-355

1. Giriş

The DANOPLUS DP-355 Quantum PAR Meter is designed for measuring Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) within the photosynthetic waveband. This meter provides accurate and reliable readings of light energy available for photosynthesis, crucial for monitoring plant growth in various environments.

The measurement range of the DP-355 is between 0 and 5000 µmol/m²/sec. It specifically measures light in the 400 nm to 700 nm wavelength range, with a tolerance of ±10 nm at both the cut-on and cut-off wavelengths. This ensures that the meter captures the light spectrum most relevant to plant photosynthesis.

2. Temel Özellikler

  • Reliable Measurement: Measures PAR from 0 to 5000 µmol/m²/sec within the 400-700 nm photosynthetic waveband, ensuring high precision for plant light requirements.
  • Kayıt İşlevi: Stores up to 100 measured values, allowing for tracking and review of PAR changes over time. Features a real-time display of the last four recorded data points for quick reference.
  • Çok Yönlü Kullanım: An essential tool for growers, scientists, and researchers to optimize plant growth, improve energy efficiency, and enhance crop management.
  • Üçayak soketi: Includes a tripod socket for secure and stable attachment to a tripod (not included), providing flexibility and accuracy during measurements.
  • Taşınabilir Tasarım: Compact, lightweight, and ergonomic, making it easy to carry and use in various locations such as greenhouses, growth chambers, or fields.

5.2 Using the Record Function

The meter can store up to 100 measurements and display the last four readings.

  • To save a measurement, press the A/LOG button. The current reading will be stored.
  • İle view stored data, navigate through the menu using the MOD Buton ve ok tuşları.
  • The display will show the last four recorded data points in real-time, allowing for quick monitoring of recent changes.

5.3 Veri Tutma Fonksiyonu

Ekrandaki mevcut değeri dondurmak için:

  • Basın TUTMAK button. The displayed value will be held.
  • Basın TUTMAK button again to release and resume live measurements.

5.4 Advanced Measurement with External Devices

The DP-355 can be used in conjunction with external applications for more detailed analysis, such as calculating Daily Light Integral (DLI) or mapping PAR distribution.

Video 5.2: This video demonstrates how a PAR meter can be used with a mobile application to calculate Daily Light Integral (DLI) and methodically record PPFD values across a grid, providing a comprehensive light map for plant growth optimization.

6. Bakım

6.1 Temizlik

  • Keep the sensor diffuser clean and free from dust or debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the sensor.
  • Clean the meter's body with a slightly damp bezle silin. Aşındırıcı temizleyiciler veya çözücüler kullanmayın.

6.2 Depolama

  • Uzun süre kullanılmadığı zamanlarda, sızıntıyı önlemek için pilleri çıkarın.
  • Store the meter in its carrying pouch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Sorun Giderme

  • Sayaç açılmıyor: Pillerin montajını kontrol edin ve pillerin bitmediğinden emin olun. Gerekirse değiştirin.
  • Yanlış okumalar: Ensure the sensor diffuser is clean and unobstructed. Verify the meter is positioned correctly relative to the light source.
  • Görüntüleme sorunları: Ekran loşsa veya titriyorsa, pilleri değiştirin.
  • Data not saving: Ensure the A/LOG button is pressed firmly. Check if the memory is full (though it stores up to 100 values).
