Kipp & Zonen Pyranometers If you want to measure solar radiation on Earth's surface, you start since 1924 market leader performance with a pyranometer. Solar radiation drives almost every dynamic best available process on the Earth from ocean current circulation to weather, climate and the biosphere. The determination of the radiation budget wide range accurate user friendly all weather conditions at the surface of the Earth is fundamental to understanding the Earth’s climate system and weather patterns. Kipp & Zonen has been manufactuing pyranometers since 1924. As the market leader, we produce...

Choice of Pyranometer Smart SMP Series ISO 9060:2018 defines three classifications of pyranometer by their key performance parameters; from Class C, to Class B, to Class A and our top models considerably exceed ISO Class A requirements. In effect, this is the calculation of GHI from accurate DHI and DNI measurements. The most appropriate model for an application largely depends upon the desired accuracy and performance, and the type of signal interface required. We offer two ranges of pyranometers, the passive CMP series and the Smart SMP series, both widely acknowledged by meteorological and...

CMP3 Class C single dome small size low cost routine measurement monitoring SMP3 CMP10x long-term stability low thermal offset fast response Class A industry standard top level reflate CMP22 has all the features of CMP10x but uses vry high quality quartz domes for a wider spectral range, improved directional response, and reduced thermal offsets. Kipp & Zonen is confident that CMP22 is the best passive pyranometer currently available. Our Spectrally Flat Class C CMP3 pyranometer is smaller and lighter than the other CMP series pyranometers. It has a robust 4 mm thick glass dome to protect the...

Building a System The system capabilities of Kipp & Zonen pyranometers can be extended with our wide range of compatible products and accessories. VENTILATION UNIT The CVF4 ventilation unit is designed for use with all CMP and SMP Series pyranometers (it is slightly less effective with the CMP3 and SMP3 because of the smaller dome diameter). Ventilation helps to keep the dome clean from soiling, evaporates dew and raindrops, and reduces infrared thermal offsets. The heating can be used to melt frost and snow. Ventilation provides better quality measurement data and reduces the frequency of cleaning,...

The performance specifications quoted are worst-case and/or maximum values. Standard 10 k thermistor or optional Pt-100 temperature sensor with CMP22. Individual directional response and temperature dependence test data with CMP10x, and CMP22.
