Kipp & Zonen supplies shielded low-noise extension cables up to
lengths of 200 m which are coupled by waterproof connectors to the
CG 4 cable. The lead resistance is 8 Ohm/100 m.
A considerable input bias current of the readout equipment can
produce a voltage of several micro Volts across the impedance of the
pyrgeometer. The correct measured zero signal can be verified with a
resistance replacing the pyrgeometer impedance at the input
terminals.
The pyrgeometer can also be connected to a computer or data
acquisition system. A low voltage analogue input module with A to D
converter must be available for thermopile readout. The span and
resolution of the A to D converter in the module must allow a system
sensitivity of about 1 bit per W/m

. For calculation of the downward
radiation, temperature data has to be converted to absolute body
temperatures in Kelvin units. A thermistor connection to the Campbell
data logger is shown in figure 3.4
The connection of the Pt-100 is shown in figure 3.5
