Seven from Turkey says that his new product can measure radiation in a range of 0 W/m² to 4,000 W/m², with a resolution of 0.1 W/m². It can also measure the humidity and temperature.
The sensor manufacturer of Turkey has introduced a new Thermopile pyranometer for the monitoring of solar radiation in PV plants, meteorological stations and research. It has a radiation range of 0 W/m² to 4,000 W/m², with a resolution of 0.1 W/m².
The spectral error is reportedly approximately 0.2%. It measures both global horizontal radiation (GHI) and the plane of Array (POA) radiation.
“The Seven Sensor class A-pyranometer is fully met with IEC 61724-1: 2021 and ISO 9060: 2018 standards, which ensures very accurate radiation measurements for accurate calculations of the performance,” the company said. “The low zero offset and the minimum non-stability are important criteria that define a class a pyranometer. To achieve these performance criteria, seven developed his pyranometer through the white diffuser instead of a traditional black body and a single dome.”
The product has a diameter of 140 mm and a height of 116 mm. It weighs 0.98 kg.
In addition to radiation, the new sensor can measure the internal and residential temperature and internal humidity. The internal humidity is measured within a range of 0% to 100%, with a resolution of 1% and an accuracy of ± 1%. Both internal and residential temperatures are in the range from -40 ° C to 85 ° C, at a resolution of 0.1 C.
“These extra functions ensure multiple parameter of environmental monitoring, so that precise adjustments and accurate measurements can be adjusted under different circumstances,” the company added. “The integrated sensors contribute to the general reliability and performance of the device, making it a robust solution for PV systems, meteorology and to be used in various application assessments.”
Measured irradiation, humidity and temperature data are sent to data loggers via Serial RS485 -Interface with Modbus RTU protocol.
