EKO Instruments MS-80 Pyranometer

ClimateMeteorological Station & Sensors

An ISO9060:2018 Class A solar sensor in the top tier ‘fast-response and ‘spectrally flat’ sub-categories, with unprecedented low zero-offset behaviour, and a 5-year recalibration interval.

Quantity

Overview

Fast-Response and Spectrally Flat, with unprecedented low zero offset, analog output, and a 5-year recalibration interval, the MS-80 is an ISO 9060:2018 Class A leader and the IEC 61724-1 compliant go-to option for scientific research, industrial applications, photovoltaic system performance monitoring and large weather monitoring sensor networks around the world.

The patented design of the MS-80 features an isolated thermopile detector. Hermetically sealed under a pure Quartz diffusor and housed within a compact single-dome, the diffusor allows all solar wavelengths through while ensuring that the total energy received at the detector level, including harmful UV irradiance, is substantially lower than usual.

Our design, and commitment to quality, means that the MS-80 is better than competing pyranometers, best in class for accuracy, speed and reliability for every application.

Key Features

<0.5s Super-fast response time for always-accurate measurements, even during rapidly changing irradiance conditions
<1W/m2 Record Lowest Zero Offset A, and <0.5% Lowest Non-Stability over 5-years
Designed for IEC 61724-1 compliant photovoltaic system performance monitoring
Optional MV-01 Ventilator & Heater
