Lite Range Update New Industrial GradeWind Sensor Set
Kipp & Zonen is updating its successful Lite Range of products to make installation easier and to add user convenience features. Mierij Meteo introduces a new set of wind
sensors designed for industrial applications. Wind vane model MW 35 and anemometer model MW 36 are designed for use in all weather conditions, the embedded heater can keep these
sensors ice-free down to at least -40 °C!
The SP Lite Silicon Pyranometer is widely used to measure solar radiation in entry-level weather stations, particularly for agriculture and hydrology, and is supplied by well-known system integrators. SP Lite is also popular for routine monitoring of photo-voltaic solar energy installations and in building control systems for lighting and environmental control.The PAR Lite Photo-Synthetically Active Radiation Sensor monitors the solar radiation that produces chlorophyll and promotes growth in plants and is a key input for horticulture and greenhouse automation.NR Lite is our single component net radiometer for simple and reliable measurement of the net radiation balance between the sky and the ground. It is used in agriculture and hydrology and in our Large Aperture Scintillometer Evapo-Transpiration Systems.The present SP Lite and PAR Lite have a base flange with two fixing holes. However, In order to level them it is necessary to buy the CLF 1 levelling fixture. If it is required to mount them to a pole or mast an accessory net radiometer/albedo plate is needed.SP Lite2 and PAR Lite2 have this functionality built-in. They feature adjustment screws and a bubble level integrated into the mounting flange. A threaded hole in the body of the housing takes the accessory screw-in mounting rod that is used with the CMP 3, CGR 3 and CNR 2. Two instruments can easily be bolted back-to-back and fitted with a mounting rod to make a simple albedometer or net PAR
sensor.
SP Lite2, PAR Lite2 and NR Lite2 will all be fitted with the high quality yellow cable used in our other instruments. The overall dimensions and performance remain as before and the new versions are interchangeable with the current products.The Lite2 range will become available during the second quarter of 2009 and will replace the existing models 7
Wind vane model MW 35 and anemometer model MW 36 are the third generation from Mierij Meteo, replacing the successful models 067 and 660, of which more than 2000 sets have been sold. The new set of wind
sensors are shock and vibration proof, robust, accurate and protected against static discharge. A special feature is the mechanical design to protect the bearings against dirt and dust. This ensures a long, maintenance free, operating life.MW 35 and MW 36 are fitted with magnetic encoders and have no electro-mechanical parts. The internal microcontroller allows a number of universal industrial outputs (digital and analogue) to be user programmable. This unique feature makes MW 35 and MW 36 compatible with a wide range of data acquisition systems.The
sensors have a wide power supply range of 12-24 VDC and can measure in wind speeds up to 75 m/s
