silicon solar cell and allows recording of the current level of solar irradiation. The silicon solar cell is laminated into a weatherproof, transparent, UV-resistant plastic lid. The sensor is connected using high-strength cable glands and cage clamps. The TA ES1 sensor can be used as a so-called irradiation threshold switch" to switch the solar circuit pump on and off, based on the current level of solar irradiation. Alternatively, the recording of the level of solar irradiation can be used for monitoring and analysis of the solar energy system. The sensor is delivered with a 3 m long, 2-core, UV-resistant connection cable. The case has pre-drilled holes for screw mounting and also an opening for strap mounting. with a cable cross-section of 1.5 mm² with a cable cross-section of 2.5 mm² 33 m · Uncertainty: ±5 % annual mean · Weatherproof, UV-resistant case · Useable as: - Visualisation of irradiation intensity in a splash-proof IP 65 protective case and serves to protect A varistor protective diode protects against atmospheric voltage spikes that can lead to destruction of the collector sensors. The use of the TA OP1 offers extra general protection of the collector sensors in any type of solar thermal system. In addition,the simple operation of the coil-spring clamps allows rapid and simple installation of the collector sensors using a sensor extension cable.. · Splash-proof case with IP 65 protection · Varistors provide secure protection against voltage spikes |
