Kipp & Zonen - Model CMP6 -Pyranometer
The CMP6 pyranometer is intended for routine global solar radiation measurement research on a plane/level surface. Fully compliant with ISO 9060:2018 specification for a Spectrally Flat Class B, the CMP6 features a sixty-four thermocouple junction (series connected) sensing element. The sensing element is coated with a highly stable carbon based non-organic coating, which delivers excellent spectral absorption and long-term stability characteristics. CMP6 has a similar detector to the CMP3 but has improved performance 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.
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 any power as it supplies a low voltage of 0 to 20 mV in relation to the amount of incoming radiation. When a higher voltage level or a 4 to 20mA signal is required, the AMPBOX is the perfect solution.
ISO / IEC classification
ISO 9060 spectrally flat Class B, with ISO / IEC 17025 calibration.
Minimized maintenance
Best MTBF with 5 years warranty.
CMP series with the world`s largest installed base
Well known for high quality, durability and accuracy. The CMP pyranometers require no power, so are ideal for remote sites.
