What is the biggest difference between the original METEON and the METEON 2.0?

Omni Instruments Expert Response: Functionality and connectivity. The original METEON only supports one passive analogue sensor. The METEON 2.0 can power and log up to five Smart sensors, one analogue sensor, and a temperature sensor simultaneously. It also features a built-in Real-Time Clock, so you don't have to reset the date and time every time you switch it on.

Can the METEON 2.0 power my Smart Pyranometers?

Omni Instruments Expert Response: Yes. When running on its 5 x AA internal batteries (or external DC), the METEON 2.0 provides the 12V power required by Kipp & Zonen Smart (SMP/SUV/SGR) sensors via the RS-485 connection.

What is "Transparent Mode"?

Omni Instruments Expert Response: In this mode, the METEON 2.0 acts as a universal RS-485 to USB interface. This allows you to connect Modbus sensors directly to your laptop via the logger to change sensor settings (like Modbus addresses) using the Kipp & Zonen SmartExplorer software.

Meteon 2.0 Data Logger

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..

Description

Description

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.
