Important features : ISO 9060:2018 - spectrally flat, class C Heat resistant instrument design Extended operating temperature range Excellent temperature dependency

The Kipp & Zonen CM 4 High Temperature Pyranometer (ISO 9060:2018 - spectrally flat, class C - formerly ISO 9060:1990 second class) is a radiometer specially designed for measuring solar or artificial light irradiance under the most extreme temperature conditions.
With an operating temperature range of -40ºC to +150ºC and measurement up to 4000 W/m², it is a unique product. All the radiometer components are specially selected for their ability to withstand these extremely high temperatures and irradiance. The CM 4 is supplied with a 10 m high temperature signal cable fitted to the instrument.

The CM 4 High Temperature Pyranometer has internal first-order temperature compensation, but it is also supplied with a built in Pt-100 temperature sensor to provide additional information on the measurement conditions. Monitoring the temperature during operations allows easy data correction afterwards for improved measurement accuracy.

The CM 4 is supplied with a calibration table that gives the instrument sensitivity for a number of measurement temperature ranges and the maximum error in the measured irradiance values within each range.

The screw-in drying cartridge is easy to remove and the replacement desiccant is supplied in convenient refill packets.

The pyranometer does not require any power. His output signal is a low voltage around 0 - 20 mV in relation to the amount of incoming irradiation. When a higher signal level (0,2 - 1 V or 4 - 20 mA) is required, the choice of an AMPBOX has to be considered.
