MS-80SH-L Class A Spectrally Flat and Fast-Response Pyranometer with Integrated Dome Heater

Overview

The MS-80SH, manufactured by EKO Instruments, is an innovative, next-generation ISO 9060 Class A spectrally flat and fast-response (secondary standard) pyranometer. The pyranometer features a compact design with internal desiccation, a single dome over a quartz diffusor, a thermally isolated thermopile detector, negligible thermal offsets, ultra-low temperature dependency, and exceptional non-linearity characteristics. The MS-80SH has a five-year warranty and recalibration interval.

EKO instruments is the longest-operating ISO 17025-accredited pyranometer manufacturer in the world. This allows for the highest-quality calibration and for Campbell Scientific to comply with international standards (ISO/IEC 17025 for ISO 9847).
