- Built-in compass and inclinometer
- Dual channel temperature measurement
- Datalogger 5000 points
The MS-02 is a practical handheld readout device for irradiance measurements, with a built-in inclinometer to measure roof pitch, a compass to measure roof orientation and thermometer to measure ambient and module temperature.
The MS-02 handheld solar irradiance meter is the perfect instrument for solar photovoltaic (Solar PV) and solar thermal installers to conduct comprehensive solar pv site surveys. The MS-02 also includes a data logging facility with USB interface to enable the measured data to be downloaded to a PC. This allows for irradiance and temperature to be recorded at user-defined intervals over a number of hours or days, the collected data can then be downloaded for analysis or for inclusion in solar installation reports.
The MS-02 is a …
