YES - Model MFR-7 -Multifilter Rotating Shadowband Radiometer
The Multifilter Rotating Shadowband Radiometer (MFR-7) measures total, diffuse, and direct irradiance at six wavelengths (415, 500, 615, 673, 870, and 940 nm, each 10 nm FWHM) in the visible/NIR, and includes one unfiltered broad-band silicon pyranometer. Thermally stabilized, environmentally sealed state-of-the-art interference filters provide excellent long term calibration stability. Instead of using rotating filter wheels, the MFR-7 makes measurements simultaneously across all seven channels, meeting the Baseline Solar Radiation Network`s requirements for atmospheric turbidity measurements.
The shadowband enables the instrument to measure all three components of solar irradiance with one detector. The MFR-7 system includes the YESDAS-2 datalogger and works with YESDAS Manager data analysis software. The UVMFR, a shadowband instrument for the UV region, is also available.
- All radiation components are measured with the same photodetector
- Thermally controlled sensor head eliminates ambient temperature-induced errors, and prevents dew/snow/ice buildup on aperture
- Data acquisition system has inputs for up to 24 other analog and 6 pulse-type meteorological sensors
- Durable, state-of-the-art mechanical and electronic design
