SLP02 Pyranometer ISO Second Class
 The SLP02 pyranometer is suitable for measuring global short-wave solar irradiance incidenting a plane surface, offering a full 180° field of
view (FOV). Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, the SLP02 has a maximum measurement range of two suns, 2000 W/m2.
Employing entirely passive thermopile-based sensing technology, the SLP02 generates a low level DC millivolt output signal proportional to the
solar short-wave flux received at the detector surface. Contrary to competing low cost photodiode type and 'black & white' model pyranometers
that suffer from long-term stability and spectral selectivity related error effects, the SLP02 offers a spectrally flat/non-selective response
across the entire solar spectrum for improved measurement accuracy and long-term stability. Determining short-wave solar irradiance requires
connection to either a data logger or digital voltmeter with a measurement resolution of ten micro-volts or better; simply divide the SLP02
millivolt output signal by the factory supplied calibration factor to arrive at irradiance in W/m2 units. Typical SLP02 measurement
applications include meteorological observations, building physics, climate and solar collector/PV panel efficiency testing. For conventional
horizontal plane mounting applications requiring accurate leveling, the SLP02 is equipped standard with adjustable leveling screws and a bulls-eye
bubble level. The SLP02 signal cable can be easily installed and replaced by the user, thus minimizing down-time and expense otherwise associated
with instrument re-cabling by the manufacturer.
