Kipp & Zonen SMP Series Smart Pyranometers

The SMP series pyranometers are designed for measuring short-wave irradiance on a plane surface, which results from the sum of the direct solar radiation and the diffuse sky radiation incident from the hemisphere above the instrument.

Features

  • Internal digital signal processing and interfaces for industrial applications
  • Automatic correction for temperature dependence of the detector sensitivity
  • Built-in bubble levels and adjustable leveling feet

The SMP series instruments are high quality radiometers designed for measuring short-wave irradiance on a plane surface (radiant flux, W/m²), which results from the sum of the direct solar radiation and the diffuse sky radiation incident from the hemisphere above the instrument.

SMP pyranometers feature internal digital signal processing and interfaces optimised for industrial data acquisition and control systems. Kipp & Zonen has developed a smart interface that features RS-485 Modbus data communication for connection to programmable logic controllers (PLC’s), inverters, digital control equipment and the latest generation of data loggers. Amplified Voltage or Current outputs are also included for devices that have high-level analog inputs or current loop interfaces.

All models are available in two versions. One has an analog voltage output of 0 to 1 V, the other has an analog current output of 4 to 20 mA. They all have a 2-wire RS-485 interface with Modbus (RTU) protocol. Digital signal processing provides faster response times and, with an integrated temperature sensor, corrects for the temperature dependence of the detector sensitivity.

To achieve the required spectral and directional characteristics SMP Series pyranometers use thermopile detectors and glass domes. All SMP’s have built-in bubble levels and adjustable levelling feet. Snap-on sun shields reduce solar heating of the housings. The waterproof connectors have gold-plated contacts.

Questions & Answers
Can the Kipp & Zonen SMP smart series pyranometers be mounted to a Lufft WS-series weather sensor?
Yes, just be sure to mount the pyranometer where it will not be shaded and do not obstruct the wind sensor on the WS-series instrument. There is a mounting rod (CMF1) and bracket (CMB1) for pole-mounting the pyranometer. The Lufft WS sensors have an integrated bracket mount & U-bolts to mount to a pole, but there is a traverse mount available if you want to offset it. https://www.fondriest.com/lufft-ws-series-sensor-traverse-mounting-kit.htm

Data-Driven Decisions: Tracking Sediment during the Klamath Dam Removal

The largest dam removal in U.S. history, the deconstruction of the Klamath Dam is slated to begin this summer. The project includes four dams along the Klamath River with the first and smallest dam, Copco #2, scheduled for removal first. As each of the dams are torn down, scientists and consultants will keep a close eye on the state of the Klamath River downstream to assess the impact of undamming the river. Shawn Hinz, managing partner and environmental toxicologist with Gravity Consulting , has been involved with the Klamath Dam project for over a decade. Hinz was a part of these earlier steps, representing the academic stakeholder position as a graduate student sitting on a board of other stakeholders.

From the Tap: Source Water Monitoring for Public Health

In regions with historically secure access to clean drinking water, few think about the work that goes into ensuring that the water they fill their cups with is safe. In reality, millions of dollars are invested in the infrastructure, equipment and teams involved in converting source water into drinking water. While all the work that goes into providing clean water often goes unnoticed, analysts like Michele Gilkerson, a water research analyst with the City of Columbus Division of Water, know exactly how much goes into securing safe water for millions of people. Gilkerson started with Battelle Memorial Institute in 1991 in their water ecology section. There, she saw how interesting source water monitoring could be, even though it isn’t often spotlighted in the environmental sector.

Choosing the Right Water Quality Monitoring Systems Is Crucial for Stantec Inc.

Data is king when it comes to water quality monitoring. It is not merely the type of data being collected that matters but also how that data is stored, processed and presented. When Joseph Kamalesh, a project manager with  Stantec Consulting Services Inc. , needs to find the right equipment for large client-based projects, he knows to keep these factors in mind. Joseph has a background in water quality and water flow monitoring instrumentation, which he continues to focus on at Stantec. During college and his early career, Joseph gained experience with water instrumentation, consisting primarily of on-site wastewater sampling and sampling small systems.
