FAST RESPONSE SPECTRALLY FLAT PYRANOMETER

Very fast response time is ideal for solar Photovoltaic Power Plant monitoring.

The ER08-S Pyranometer features an innovative new design of detector with very low zero off-set and fast thermopile response to give reduced measurement uncertainty in comparison to conventional pyranometer designs that use an exposed blackened thermopile. The detector incorporates a cosine-corrected entrance aperture, a compact integrating cavity, and an encapsulated thermopile with a Field-Of-View restricted to the cavity.

The Middleton Solar ER08-S exceeds the ISO 9060:2018 specifications for a Fast Response Spectrally Flat Pyranometer of Class B or Class A. The ER08-SE version has an in-built amplifier with a millivolt output for easy signal measurement.

The ER08-S is available with a 12VDC 3W internal heater to combat dew formation on the glass dome, or to melt snow deposition. The heater does not compromise the zero off-set performance.

ALMOST NO ZERO OFF-SET - VERY FAST RESPONSE

Reduced Measurement uncertainty because hidden off-sets are insignificant.

Single glass dome gives lower directional error than conventional double dome design.

Cable has connector at instrument end.
