Wired - Apogee - Amplified 0-5 V Full-Spectrum Quantum
The Apogee SQ-515-SS Amplified Full-Spectrum Quantum Sensor is a research-grade PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) sensor engineered for accurate PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) measurements across modern lighting technologies, including LEDs, HPS, and sunlight. With a refined spectral response of 389–692 nm, the SQ-515 delivers highly accurate readings in greenhouses, indoor farms, growth chambers, research environments, and aquatic applications.
The sensor features a 0–5 V amplified analog output for easy integration into environmental monitoring and automation platforms such as EnvOS™, PLCs, dataloggers, and greenhouse control systems. Its rugged anodized aluminum housing, self-cleaning acrylic diffuser, and IP68 marine-grade construction provide long-term reliability in harsh indoor and outdoor environments.
Designed for continuous environmental monitoring, the SQ-515 supports applications including:
- Greenhouse light monitoring
- Indoor farming & vertical farming
- DLI (Daily Light Integral) calculations
- Supplemental lighting control
- Growth chamber research
- Under-canopy and reflected PPFD measurements
- Aquatic and aquarium PAR monitoring
Key Features:
- Full-spectrum PAR response optimized for LED grow lights
- 0–5 V amplified analog output
- Measurement range up to 4000 µmol m⁻² s⁻¹
