DR30-D1 is Hukx’s most advanced digital sensor for direct (normal incidence) solar radiation. This high-accuracy pyrheliometer complies with Class A specifications set by ISO 9060 and the WMO Guide. It features superior window heating that leads to high data availability and an internal tilt sensor to verify tracker performance.
Provides the highest accuracy and data availability
Welcome to the next level in solar radiation monitoring! The all-digital DR30-D1 pyrheliometer offers the highest accuracy and data availability, featuring window heating at low offsets. At the same heating power, the heating has been improved by a factor of 4, at just a quarter of the offset! With on-board tilt and humidity sensors, the DR30-D1 is purpose-built for high-accuracy measurement of direct solar radiation— also known as Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI)—received by a plane surface from a 5 ° full field of view angle. DNI is expressed in W/m². For optimal results, the instrument must be mounted on a two-axis tracker to stay pointed at the sun.
Heated for high data availability
High data availability is attained by heating the front window, which suppresses dew and frost deposition.
low power consumption: DR30-D1 only needs 2 W to keep its window free from dew and frost.
Remote sensor diagnostics
In addition to solar irradiance, DR30-D1 outputs sensor diagnostics such as:
tilt angle
internal humidity
heater current
Remote diagnostics permit real-time status monitoring, reducing the need for (un)scheduled field inspections.
