Product Details

DR15-A1 Analogue spectrally flat Class B pyrheliometer： User's Manual Datasheet

DR15 pyrheliometers are applied in high-accuracy measurements of the solar radiation received by a plane surface from a 5 ° full field of view angle. This quantity, expressed in W/m2, is called “direct” solar radiation or DNI (direct normal irradiance). It is necessary to keep the instrument pointed at the sun by using a two-axis tracker.

DR15 complies with the Class B specifications of the ISO 9060:2018 standard. Each DR15 pyrheliometer is supplied with test results for the individual instrument:

sensitivity

response time

Each DR20 pyrheliometer also includes a test report on temperature response, as required by ISO 9060 for Class A classification.

Suggested Use

Solar energy surveys

Solar resource assessments

Meteorological networks

Sites with dew and frost problems

Areas of Application

Meteorology / surface energy flux measurement

Solar energy / PV system performance monitoring
