The Meteon is a compact handheld display and data logger optimised for the PV related solar radiation measurement. It comes in a rugged carrying case that also offers room for a pyranometer and cable. It can accept up to 5 Smart pyranometers and one analogue radiometer, plus temperature sensor. A kWh pulse input is also available. The Meteon 2.0 can measure, display and log data from up to 8 devices, or used in transparent mode to act as a universal RS-485 interface for connected Modbus sensors. 5 x AA Internal batteries can provide power to the connected Smart pyranometers. Internal memory for 380,000 values of average, minimum, maximum for 7 instruments + pulse total for a connected kWh meter. USB interface for logger configuration and data download via CSV or xlsx files..
On batteries the METEON consumes 2.5 mA, with back light on this is 12 mA. Each additional SMP adds 7 mA, So logging of one analog and one smart sensor consumes 9.5 mA. With Alkaline batteries of 2200 mAh this means a lifetime of approximately 230 hour. When the METEON is powered with 12VDC this can be transferred to the Modbus sensors as well.
