Ambient Temperature Sensor-PT1000 with 4-20 mA Output – 3S-AT-PT1000-I
Ambient Temperature Sensor measures the air temperature in the environment where the PVs are placed in degrees Celsius (°C) by using a PT1000 probe. In order to communicate via 4-20mA, a transducer is used to convert PT000 to the required Output signal. This Ambient Temperature Sensor Model is compatible with all Dataloggers, Gateways, and PLCs with 4-20 mA input port. It is supplied with mounting facility, and protected from direct sunlight & radiations by a plastic radiation shield with four aspirated plates that allow the air to pass freely.
Ambient temperature is one of the main factors that directly affects solar panel performance. For example, as the cell temperature increases in parallel with the surrounding temperature, less energy is produced. Furthermore, any examination of the efficiency of PV systems must include a measurement of the ambient temperature because variables like wind speed and air density affect heat transport.
The ambient temperature sensor is one instrument used to determine the ambient temperature. A PT1000 probe is used to measure the air temperature in the vicinity of PV systems in degrees Celsius (°C). The product is protected from the harmful effects of direct sunlight by a UV-resistant radiation shield. It is specifically designed to work with PV plant monitoring systems that follow IEC 60751:2022 and IEC 61724-1:2021.
Analog 4–20 mA ambient temperature sensors are specifically made for premium environmental settings. A high-precision PT1000 sensor measures the ambient air temperature, and an electronic card housed in a UV-resistant, highly protective enclosure converts the data to an analog 4–20 mA output. This type of ambient temperature sensor works with any datalogger, gateway, or PLC that has an input port that supports 4–20 mA.
