The More Intelligent Way to Measure Solar Irradiance

Kipp & Zonen (Netherlands) proudly presents a new and intelligent generation of pyranometers. Equipped with an extremely low power Smart Interface, the new Smart SMP Pyranometers offer industry standard digital and amplified analogue outputs within the well-known CMP series housings.

Customer feedback, state of the art technology and the expertise of a team of Kipp & Zonen engineers have resulted in a unique new pyranometer range. It is built on the proven design and technology of the CMP series, but includes an Integrated Smart Interface that provides versatile outputs and two-way data communication.

“The active use of a built-in temperature sensor is one of the biggest breakthroughs in the development of the SMP Smart Pyranometer. The detector signal is digitally temperature corrected and makes the SMP Smart pyranometers irradiance measurements temperature-independent over a very wide range”, said Ruud Ringoir, product manager at Kipp & Zonen. “Thanks to the integrated Modbus® you now can communicate with your pyranometer allowing connection to digital equipment such as programmable logic controllers (PLC’s). Moreover all SMP pyranometers are programmed to have identical sensitivity and output levels, making them easily interchangeable for re-calibration or service.”

Kipp & Zonen has been manufacturing pyranometers for over 80 years. These instruments are designed for measuring the total (global) irradiance from the sun and sky falling on a plane surface in the wavelength range from approximately 0.3 to 3 µm (micrometers). With the new SMP Smart Pyranometer Series Kipp & Zonen combines instruments and industry standard interfaces into one unique instrument.
