QMS101
0105-020
Figure 16 QMS101 Pyranometer
The QMS101 pyranometer is used for measuring global solar
radiation. QMS101 uses a photodiode detector for creating a voltage
output proportional to the incoming radiation. Due to the unique
design of the diffuser, its sensitivity is proportional to the cosine of the
angle of incidence of the radiation, thus allowing accurate and
consistent measurements. QMS101 has a ready-made cable with a
connector, and it is easily installed on the sensor support arm.
QMS102
0105-021
Figure 17 QMS102 Pyranometer
QMS102 Pyranometer is an ISO/WMO-classified second class
pyranometer. The precision optical glass dome acts as a filter, with a
spectral band-pass that permits the full solar spectrum to pass through
