Cutting-Edge Sensor Technology
At the heart of the Sunmeter Pro lies a high-performance monocrystalline silicon cell. This cell is meticulously laminated with specialized glass used in photovoltaic modules and encapsulated with E.V.A. (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate), effectively creating a micro PV module. This unique construction ensures optimal light absorption and conversion, mirroring the behavior of full-scale solar panels with remarkable precision.
Unmatched Stability and Longevience
The Sunmeter Pro undergoes rigorous stabilization processes and extensive testing to minimize measurement drift over time. This commitment to long-term accuracy sets it apart from conventional pyranometers, ensuring that your data remains reliable year after year. With a performance decline of less than 1.5% per year, you can trust the Sunmeter Pro to deliver consistent results throughout its operational life.
Advanced Measurement Capabilities
Incorporating proprietary TZOS® technology, the Sunmeter Pro offers a level of measurement sophistication previously unseen in the industry. This innovative approach to irradiance sensing allows for more nuanced and accurate data collection, providing insights that can significantly enhance the efficiency and output of solar installations.
The Sunmeter 2 LED presents a helpful support feature for quick installation and immediate diagnostics.
Superior Calibration and Quality Assurance
Each Sunmeter Pro undergoes a meticulous calibration process, utilizing a stabilized PV reference cell at the DAKKS accredited ISFH (Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin). This rigorous calibration ensures that every unit meets the highest standards of accuracy and reliability.
- LED Interfaces: LED diagnostics help the user easily understand issues with miswiring and impedance of power and data lines.
- User-Friendly Design: Simplified controls for easier operation.
Blue – (Power Supply) – 3s Pulse
Red – (RS 485) – Pulsating when signal are transmitted from Master
Green – (RS 485)- Pulsating when are matching speed, parity & node
Comprehensive After-Sales Support
Demonstrating our confidence in the Sunmeter Pro’s performance and our commitment to customer satisfaction, we offer an unparalleled support package. This includes a complimentary recalibration service after one year of use, as well as the immediate replacement of the sensor if its tolerance exceeds 3.5%. This guarantee provides peace of mind and ensures the continued accuracy of your measurements.
Accessories
- Temmeter
- USB/RS485 interface cable
- USB/MICRO-USB smartphone adapter
- Sm configuration for Android smartphone and tabletSMCONFIG allows you to configure Sunmeter in the field from your Android smartphone. It is no longer necessary to bring the Sunmeter back to the laboratory for configuration.The software allows you to:
- configure Sunmeter.
- make a diagnosis of the basic functions.
- log irradiance, temperature and wind (Sunmeter Wind only) readings.
The software is available for free on this page in the downloads area. In addition to the software it is necessary to have a USB / RS485 converter, an adapter cable between microUSB/USB and a female connector M12 4 pin for Sunmeter.
In the Download area you can find a wiring diagram of our cable that connects Smartphone/Tablet or PC with the irradiance sensor, it takes and transforms the voltage present on the USB (Price on request). Alternatively, it is possible to use other cables with external power supply (9V battery).
