Cutting-Edge Sensor Technology
At the heart of the PYR1-420 lies a high-performance thermopile sensor, capable of measuring solar radiation across a broad spectral range of 300 to 2900 nm. This wide spectrum coverage ensures comprehensive solar radiation measurement, capturing both visible and near-infrared wavelengths with precision.
Advanced Signal Processing
The PYR1-420 incorporates sophisticated electronics to amplify the delicate signal from the thermopile sensor. Utilizing top-tier operational amplifiers, this pyranometer achieves outstanding performance in terms of linearity, noise immunity, and consistent behavior across temperature variations and extended periods. The result is a highly reliable and accurate measurement system that maintains its precision over time.
Optimized Output for Long-Distance Transmission
The sensor’s output is normalized to a 4-20mA current loop, a standard in industrial instrumentation. This analog output mode offers several advantages:
- Simple two-wire cabling for easy installation
- High immunity to electromagnetic interference
- Reliable signal transmission over distances exceeding ten meters
These features make the PYR1-420 particularly well-suited for large-scale solar installations and remote monitoring applications.
Robust Design for Outdoor Durability
Engineered for long-term outdoor deployment, the PYR1-420 features:
- A double dome design with hemispherical optical glass, ensuring high transparency and protection
- An anodized aluminum body that withstands harsh environmental conditions
- Enhanced weather resistance for reliable operation in diverse climates
Precision Calibration and Quality Assurance
Each PYR1-420 undergoes rigorous calibration against a Secondary Standard (Class A Thermopile Pyranometer), which is rechecked every 12 months. This meticulous calibration process, compliant with ISO 9847 standards, ensures the highest level of measurement accuracy and traceability.
