SGR4 Pyrgeometer
The SGR4 is Kipp & Zonen's top-tier pyrgeometer for measuring downward longwave radiation, with an RS-485 Modbus interface and an amplified analogue output.
- Supply
- 5 to 30 VDC
- Spectral range
- 4.4 to 50 µm (4400-50000 nm)
- Response time (95%)
- 18 s
Overview
In detail
How it works
The SGR4 measures downward longwave radiation across a 4.4 to 50 micron spectral band, with temperature-corrected measurement data and improved response time compared to earlier pyrgeometers. Long-wave net and downward radiation values are available directly over Modbus.
Connectivity
The sensor provides a 2-wire RS-485 Modbus digital interface alongside an amplified analogue output (4-20mA or 0-1V depending on version).
Power
A wide 5 to 30 VDC supply range simplifies integration into meteorological and solar energy monitoring stations. The SGR4 is robust and carries a 5-year warranty.
