The METEON can be used with: • All CMP pyranometers • CM 4 • PAR Lite • SP Lite • NR Lite • CUV 4 METEON is primarily intended to display real-time radiation values in Watt per square meter or PAR in micro-mol per square meter per second. Configuration with a computer is simple, using the supplied software and USB interface cable. Just select the radiometer type from a list, enter its sensitivity, and the correct measuring range is automatically selected. Real-time radiation values Once METEON is configured, connect the radiometer, switch on, and the large 4-digit display directly shows the correct values. This makes it a perfect tool for convenient use in the field. Data logging function The great advantage of the METEON is the integrated data logging function that can store up to 3500 samples. It stores minimum, maximum and average values per logging interval. With the included software you can present the logged data graphically and it can be exported to spreadsheets, such as Excel™.
The light weight, small size and ease of use make METEON the perfect choice for field or test use in Meteorology, Agriculture, Industry and Education.
Application examples: • Efficiency check of PV installations with a pyranometer • PAR reading in greenhouses with PAR-Lite • UV radiation check with CUV 4 • Net-radiation logger with the NR-Lite • Radiation transmission test for greenhouse windows • Incoming radiation readout for solar collectors
METEON is delivered in a tough carrying case together with:
• 2AA alkaline batteries • Software and manual on a CD-ROM • USB interface cable
Optional METEON can be ordered pre-configured with a radiometer as a complete irradiance measurement kit.
