Description
Product overview- The DR15-A1 is an analog, spectrally flat Class B pyrheliometer by Hukx designed for high-accuracy measurement of direct normal irradiance (DNI) on tracker-mounted systems. It includes front-window heating to minimise dew and frost and provides analog millivolt outputs for direct integration with data acquisition systems.
Key features- High-accuracy measurement of direct (normal incidence) solar radiation, optimised for tracker operation.
- Spectrally flat Class B instrument compliant with ISO 9060:2018.
- Low-power front-window heating to improve data availability in dew and frost conditions.
- Analog millivolt output compatible with standard measurement and logging systems.
