Spectral (i.e., wavelength-dependent) radiation is intensity of output from a radiation source (e.g., sun, electric

lamp, reflected radiation from a surface of interest) as a function of wavelength. Radiation spectra vary for

different radiation sources and conditions. Radiation spectra can be used to characterize radiation sources.

Spectrometers measure relative spectral radiation over a specified wavelength range. Spectroradiometers are

spectrometers calibrated to output spectral measurements in absolute units (e.g., energy flux density in W m-2

nm-1 or photon flux density in µmol m-2 s-1 nm-1).

Typical applications of spectroradiometers include measurement of spectral output from radiation sources used to

grow plants, algae, and corals (e.g., in greenhouses, growth chambers, and aquarium lighting), measurement of

solar spectra with changing atmospheric conditions, and measurement of spectral reflectance on stationary (e.g.,

agricultural or ecological weather stations and flux towers) and mobile (e.g., plant phenotyping) platforms. Please

note that the meter is not waterproof.

Apogee Instruments InSight model MS-100 (380 to 780 nm measurement range) spectroradiometers are handheld

units designed for laboratory and field use. Each spectroradiometer consists of a spectrometer (slit, diffraction

grating, detector array) and diffuser mounted in a small plastic housing. Each unit is calibrated to provide spectral

measurements in absolute units. Onboard circuitry allows for output to a computer (via USB), handheld device (via

Bluetooth), or datalogger (via ModBus).

The Apogee InSight MS series handheld quantum spectroradiometers covered in this manual are self-contained

and come complete with a handheld meter, carrying case, protective case, quick start guide, mini-USB cable,

power adapter, communication board, neck strap screw, and neck strap.

Sensor model number is located

on a label on the right side of the

meter. The serial number is

located on the same side under

the bar code.

Installing the SD Card

This unit writes measurement data onto a MicroSD card (1 GB to 32 GB). The SD card is not

included and must be purchased separately. Insert the card into the MicroSD card slot. All

captured data is written to excel ﬁles (.xls).

Even without a MicroSD Card, the MS-100 can capture data.

Setting the Date/Time

Plug your MS-100 into your PC using the included mini-USB cable. Launch the

Apogee InSight software. Click on “Device.” Under “Device List,” click on your

meter and choose “Connect” to automatically sync up your device with the

Date/Time on your PC.

Charging the Internal Battery

Connect one end of the mini-USB charger cable to the MS-100 and the other end

into a wall socket with the appropriate voltage. You can also connect the meter

to a computer to charge. The indicator light will illuminate orange while it is

charging. The light will turn green when fully charged. For ﬁrst time use, charge

the battery for at least 6 hours.

The indicator light will light up in orange

while charging, and light up green when

the battery is fully charged.

If the unit is charging, a lightning bolt will

appear over the battery symbol.

Using the Lanyard Strap/Tripod

You can attach a lanyard (neck strap) onto the ring at the

bottom of the MS-100.

If you detach the lanyard screw on the bottom of the MS-

100, it will expose a screw hole where you can attach a

tripod for hands-free LED measurements.
