Product catalog summary
Overview: The 3S-SCIS Self-Cleaning Irradiance Sensor is part of SEVEN's range of meteorological sensors designed for environmental and industrial applications, particularly photovoltaic plants. It measures irradiance in W/m² using a photovoltaic reference cell and complies with IEC 61724-1:2021 and IEC 60904-2 standards.
Specifications: The sensor measures irradiance and cell temperature, with an irradiance range of 0 - 1600 W/m² and an uncertainty of ≤2%. It features a resolution of 0.1 W/m², a response time of 1 second, and a field of view of 170°. The output is via RS485 with Modbus RTU protocol, and it operates on 110-240V AC or 24V 5A DC power supply.
Features: The sensor includes an automatic cleaning system that operates daily at user-defined times, reducing manual cleaning needs. It supports up to three cleaning cycles per day. The system is IEC 61724-1:2021 compliant, offers quick installation, free software updates, and comes with a 2-year warranty.
Technical Details: The sensor housing is made of aluminum with an IP54 rating, optional IP65 or IP68. It has a water tank capacity of 18 liters, consuming 36 liters per year, requiring refilling twice a year. The washing liquid varies based on ambient temperature, using pure water or a mix with antifreeze.
Calibration and Testing: Each sensor is calibrated under a Class AAA Sun Simulator and tested in natural sunlight, using reference cells calibrated by the ISFH and Fraunhofer ISE Institutes in Germany.
Dimensions: The document includes technical drawings with dimensions for the sensor, water tank, and electronic panel.

Self-Cleaning Irradiance Sensor (3S-SCIS)-1

Self-Cleaning Irradiance Sensor Self-Cleaning Irradiance Sensor The Irradiance Sensor is part of the SEVEN meteorological sensor range, which includes professional and intelligent measuring sensors with a digital interface for environmental and industrial applications such as photovoltaic plants. The Irradiance Sensor, called PV Pyranometer with photovoltaic reference cell, provides irradiance data in W/m2 to the user based on IEC 61724-1:2021 and IEC 60904-2 standards to calculate the performance ratio of the PV plants. The measured irradiance data is transmitted to data loggers and receiver units via a 3-wire RS485 bus with Modbus RTU protocol. In accordance with IEC 61724-1:2021, clause 8.2.5 (and Table 7), Class A monitoring requires mitigation of soiling effects on Irradiance Sensors and at least weekly cleaning for typical sensors and installations. Where local conditions permit, the interval may be extended; technologies that provide soiling reduction/detection equivalent to weekly cleaning are also acceptable. The Automatic Cleaning Irradiance Sensor is designed to meet these requirements by reducing the need for manual cleaning, thereby decreasing site visits and labor needs. Its cleaning system operates once per day at a user-defined time via the GUI as standard. If desired, up to three different times can be set in the GUI, increasing the daily cleaning frequency to as many as three cycles. • SunSpec Compliant • SEVEN Remote Setup Service • SEVEN Customer Support • IEC 61724-1:2021 Compliant (Class A Monitoring) • Similar Structure with PV Panels • Automatic Cleaning System (Reduces Labor Cost) • Quick & Easy Installation • Free Software Update Pinarcay OSB Mahallesi 11.
