The S-Series MS-40S (MTI.AWS.EK.AB.40S) ISO 9060:2018 Class C pyranometer is a cost-efficient part of the most accurate, reliable and robust family of pyranometers in the world and the class-leading solution for system integrators, agrometeorological networks, and professional small-scale PV sites.
Built with the same unique S-Series features as the Class A MS-80S and Class B MS-60S, the MS-40S comes with internal diagnostic sensors for remote visibility over internal temperature, humidity, tilt and roll angle, ensuring optimum performance with reduced maintenance costs. EKO’s 4-channel smart interface ensures that the MS-40S is compatible with 99% of data loggers, DAQ, and SCADA systems and with Level A EMI/EMC electronic surge filter and protection, 5-year warranty, lifetime desiccant, and ISO 17025 accredited calibration, the MS-40S is the toughest, most reliable, and advanced Class C pyranometer available.
The MS-40S Albedometer consists of two MS-40S Pyranometers and the MS-Albedo Kit with a glare screen to measure albedo and total reflectance across various applications, including solar power plants with bi-facial PV modules. MS-40S Pyranometers are manufactured with strict quality controls and performance evaluation. EKO provides calibration compliant with the international standards defined by ISO/IEC17025/9847 with a 2-year recommended re-calibration interval.
