Description
The Kipp & Zonen range of thermopile-based pyranometers is respected around the world for the measurement of
solar irradiance to World Meteorological Organisation and ISO 9060:1990 standards. The instruments are used in mete-
orological research, solar energy research, material testing, climate control in greenhouses, building physics, science
and many other applications.
The CMP series of pyranometers have ergonomic features to facilitate installation, maintenance, and exchange for
recalibration.
A waterproof socket is tted for the signature yellow signal cable, which is available in a range of lengths. The integral
bubble level is raised to the top of the housing and can be viewed without removing the sun shield. The screw-in drying
cartridge can be reactivated with convenient re ll packets.
The CMP10 has internal desiccant that lasts for 10 years. The CMP 11 has a removable drying cartridge. Kipp & Zonen
offers 5 years manufacturer’s warranty for the CMP10 pyranometer.
Calculation of irradiance
E = U / S
E [W/m²] = Irradiance
U [µV] = Output Voltage
S [µV/W/m²] = Sensitivity
