Overview
The SR20-D2, manufactured by Hukseflux Thermal Sensors, is an ISO 9060:2018 spectrally flat Class A (secondary standard) digital pyranometer that measures solar short-wave radiation in a full hemisphere of the sky. It connects directly to a Campbell Scientific data logger and is designed for Modbus RTU applications that require high measurement accuracy in demanding applications such as scientific meteorological observation networks and utility scale solar-energy-power production sites.
Benefits and Features
- Low temperature dependence
- Onboard digital temperature sensor
- Ultra robust connector, desiccant holder, and sun screen
- Temperature dependence characterized and supplied for each instrument
- Directional response tested on each instrument
- Digital output (Modbus RTU)
