CMP11 Pyranometer for Meteorological Networks
The CMP11 pyranometer from Kipp and Zonen uses the temperature-compensated detector technology originally developed for the CMP22 and is a step up in performance from the CMP6. It is particularly suitable for meteorological networks, and the reduced response time of 1.66 seconds (63%) meets the requirements for solar energy applications.
- Spectral range (50% points)
- 285 to 2800 nm
- Sensitivity
- 7 to 14 µV/W/m²
- Response time
- < 5 s
Overview
In detail
Construction
The integral bubble level is raised to the top of the housing and can be viewed without removing the redesigned snap-on sun shield, which also covers the connector. The connector with gold-plated contacts allows for easy exchange and re-calibration. The screw-in drying cartridge is easy to remove and the replacement desiccant is supplied in convenient refill packets.
Output
The pyranometer does not require any power; it supplies a low voltage of 0 to 20 mV in relation to the amount of incoming radiation. When a higher voltage level or a 4 to 20 mA signal is required, the AMPBOX is the perfect solution.
