Description

The RS-TBQ-N01-AL pyranometer operates on the thermoelectric principle, where incident solar radiation is absorbed by a black-coated thermopile, generating a microvolt-level signal proportional to irradiance. This signal is conditioned for stable output, suitable for long-term outdoor deployment. A desiccant-filled drying cartridge is integrated to prevent internal condensation and maintain measurement integrity under high humidity conditions.

Designed for professional meteorological and solar energy applications, the sensor’s wide operating temperature range and IP-rated housing (implied by environmental specs) ensure reliable performance in harsh climates. The standard Modbus-RTU protocol over RS485 allows for easy daisy-chaining and integration into SCADA systems, BMS, or custom data loggers.

Key Features

  • Thermopile Sensing Core: Delivers stable, linear output (7–14 μV/W·m²) across the full 0-2000 W/m² range.
  • Industrial Communication: RS485 interface with Modbus-RTU protocol supports multi-drop networks and long-distance data transmission.
  • Environmental Durability: Engineered for continuous operation in extreme temperatures (-40°C to 60°C) and high humidity.
  • Integrated Desiccant Cartridge: Protects the optical dome from internal fogging, ensuring long-term accuracy.
  • Precision Leveling Aids: Built-in bubble level and adjustable leveling screws enable accurate cosine response alignment without extra tools.
  • Optimized Performance-to-Cost Ratio: Provides laboratory-grade measurement capabilities in a robust, field-ready package.

Applications

  • Solar photovoltaic (PV) farm performance monitoring and yield optimization.
  • Meteorological station networks for climate research and weather forecasting.
  • Building Management Systems (BMS) for daylight harvesting and HVAC control.
  • Agricultural research for evapotranspiration and crop growth modeling.
  • Environmental monitoring stations assessing solar energy potential and albedo.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the communication protocol for this pyranometer?

The sensor uses a standard RS485 serial interface with the Modbus-RTU protocol. This allows for easy integration into industrial control systems, SCADA networks, and data loggers that support Modbus, enabling multi-drop communication over long distances.

What power supply is required for the RS-TBQ-N01-AL sensor?

The sensor operates on a wide-range DC power supply from 10V to 30V. This flexibility makes it compatible with various field power sources, including 12V solar/battery systems or standard 24V industrial power supplies.

How do I ensure accurate measurements from this pyranometer?

Accurate cosine response requires the sensor to be perfectly level. Use the integrated bubble level and the provided adjusting screws to level the unit during installation. Ensure the optical dome is clean and the desiccant cartridge is intact to prevent internal condensation.

Can this sensor be used outdoors year-round?

Yes, it is designed for continuous outdoor use with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 60°C and humidity tolerance of 0-95% RH (non-condensing). The desiccant cartridge protects against internal fogging, making it suitable for harsh environmental conditions.
