Quality and validity

Lineage

The CM6B Pyranometer is suitable for the routine measurement of incoming global solar radiation (0.3 to 2.8 µm spectral range), diffuse sky irradiance measurements, and surface reflected solar radiation measurement research.

It is mounted on a 2m pole.

The CM6B is fully compliant with all ISO-9060 First Class pyranometer performance specification criteria.

Benefits:

Good cosine response

Low dome IR offset error

Good linearity

Excellent long-term stability of sensitivity

It incorporates a 64-thermocouple sensor, which is rotationally symmetrical, housed under K5 domes. A white screen prevents the body of the pyranometer from heating up. The pyranometer is supplied with a spirit level and screws for accurate levelling. A drying cartridge keeps the interior free from humidity.

The technical characteristics are:

- Spectral range 305...2800 nm (50%points)

- Sensitivity 9...15µV/Wm-2

- Impedance 70...100 Ohm

- Response time 1/e 5 s, 99 % 55 s

- Non-linearity <1.5 % (<1000 W/m2)

- Tilt error <1.5 % at 1000 W/m2

- Operating temperature -40...+90 °C

- Temperature dependence of sensitivity +/- 2% (-10...+40°C)

- Maximum irradiance 2000 W/m2

- Directional error <+/- 20 W/m2 at 1000 W/m2

- Weight 0.85 kg

- Cable length 10
