SR15-D1

Digital First class Pyranometer with Modbus over RS-485 Output and Heater

SR15 digital pyranometer series is a range of high-accuracy digital solar radiation sensors. It is “first class” according to the WMO guide and ISO 9060:1990 standard and “Spectrally Flat Class B” in the 2018 revision. Version SR15-D1, equipped with an on-board heater, is compliant in its standard configuration with the requirements for “Class B” PV monitoring systems of the IEC 61724-1:2017 standard. SR15-D1 offers Modbus over RS-485 output.

  • Best measurement accuracy in first class
  • Improved response time
  • With SR15-D1’s on-board heater: compliant in its standard configuration with IEC 61724-1 Class B
  • On-board calibration history

Description

SR15 first class pyranometer with tube levelling mountPV System Performance Monitoring: Compliant with IEC Class B

IEC 61724-1: Photovoltaic System Performance Monitoring – Guidelines for Measurement, Data Exchange and Analysis – requires heating for Class B monitoring. SR15-D1, with its on-board heater, offers Class B compliance without the need for additional accessories.

SR15 Digital Series DesignSR15-D1 offers Modbus over RS-485 output

SR15 first class pyranometer employs a thermal sensor with black coating, two glass domes and an anodized aluminium body. The digital sensor offers output via Modbus RTU over 2-wire RS-485 (version SR15-D1) and via Modbus TTL and 4-20 mA current loop (version SR15-D2A2).
