Kipp & Zonen introduces the intelligent pyranometer at MTX and SPI
Published: Tuesday, October 11, 2011
Customer feedback, state of the art technology and the expertise of a team of Kipp & Zonen engineers have resulted in a new generation of pyranometers. Equipped with an extremely low power Smart Interface, the new SMP pyranometers offer industry standard digital and amplified analog outputs within the well-known CMP series housings.
The output range is programmed so that all SMP pyranometers have identical sensitivities, allowing easy installation and exchange for recalibration. Serial communication allows access to measurement data, instrument status, operating parameters and calibration history. The Smart Interface also corrects for sources of inaccuracy inherent in thermopile pyranometers.
The SMP series is perfect for industrial applications, especially in solar energy and will be available soon.
