PYR1-420 – Class B Thermopile Pyranometer
Last update
PYR1-420 is an ISO 9060:2018 Class B (First Class) Thermopile Pyranometer.
It is equipped with electronics to amplify a very weak signal coming from the thermopile, and mounted with the best operational amplifiers on the market in terms of linearity, noise immunity, consistent behavior over time and in temperature variations. The signal is normalized in the range 4 to 20mA.
This analog output mode of the signal (current loop) is characterized by a simple wiring (cable with 2 wires), and a high immunity to electromagnetic interference and interference caused by distances of over ten meters.
It is ideal for meteorological use or monitoring photovoltaic performance when this is a requirement in EPC and O&M contracts.
Note: the terms irradiance sensor, photovoltaic pyranometer, reference cell and solarimeter are interchangeable. On this site we will use photovoltaic pyranometer. To learn more click here.
