Description
CMP6 Pyranometer from Kipp and Zonen
The CMP6 pyranometer has a similar sensor to the smaller CMP3. However, performance is improved due to the increased thermal mass and the double glass dome construction. It is ideal for cost-effective, good quality, measurements in hydrological networks and agriculture and some solar studies.
The integral bubble level is raised to the top of the housing and can be viewed without removing the redesigned snap-on sun shield, which also covers the connector. The connector with gold-plated contacts allows for easy exchange and re-calibration.
The screw-in drying cartridge is easy to remove and the replacement desiccant is supplied in convenient refill packets.
The Pyranometer does not require power, it supplies a low voltage of 0 to 20mV relative to radiation received.
For a higher voltage level or a 4 to 20mA signal, the AMPBOX offers the perfect solution.
