MS-90 Technical Specifications

Product catalog summary
Technical Specifications:
  • DNI Measurement: Less than 10% uncertainty.
  • Output: Pulsed analog output of 0-5V.
  • Spectral Range: 300 - 2500 nm.
  • Sun-Tracker: Not required.
  • Configurable Measurements: Can measure DNI, GHI, and DHI.
Product Description:

The MS-90 DNI Sensor is designed to accurately measure Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) without needing a sun-tracker. It uses a rotating mirror to reflect the sunbeam onto a thermal detector, providing a pulsed analog output compatible with dataloggers. This output is proportional to the DNI and can be used alongside any pyranometer to measure Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI), allowing for the calculation of Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance (DHI).

The MS-90 is an evolution of the MS-093 sunshine duration meter, known for its reliability and accuracy, and has been used in Japan's AMeDaS network for over a decade. It is ideal for solar energy monitoring systems and meteorological networks.

Additional Specifications:
  • ISO 9060 Classification: Compliant.
  • Temperature Response: -20°C to 40°C with +/- 5% accuracy.
  • Non-linearity: +/- 2.5%.
  • Operating Temperature Range: -20°C to 45°C.
  • Power Supply: 10.5 - 12.5 VDC.
  • Dimensions: 350 mm (W) x 250 mm (L) x 200 mm (H).
  • Weight: 2.5 kg.
  • Ingress Protection: IP 67.
  • Cable Length: 10 m standard, with options for 20, 30, or 50 m.
  • Geographic Application: Latitude -58º to 58º, Longitude 0º to 360º.
  • Power Consumption: Less than 5 W.
  • Optional Accessories: Base plate with leveling feet, power supply options ranging from 100 to 240 VAC.

MS-90 Technical Specifications-1

MS-90 DNI Sensor Technical Specifications DNI measurement (<10% uncertainty) Pulsed analog output 0-5V Spectral range 300 - 2500nm No sun-tracker required Configurable to measure DNI / GHI / DHI A new sensor which accurately measures the Direct systems and meteorological networks. Normal Irradiance (DNI) without the requirement of a sun-tracker. It features a rotating mirror, which only reflects the sunbeam onto a thermal detector. The pulsed analog output can work with dataloggers with a pulsed analog input or peak hold function. The analog pulse (0-5V) is proportional to the DNI. It can be used in combination with any pyranometer to measure the DNI and Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI). Hence the Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance (DHI) can be calculated. A revolutionary method to capture the direct sunbeam. MS-90 is a reinvention of the MS-093 sunshine duration meter, which is a reliable and accurate sunshine duration meter, which has been deployed within the AMeDaS network in Japan for over 10 years. More than 800 stations gather precise sunshine duration information every day. MS-090 is highly suitable to be applied in solar energy monitoring
