Benefits and Features

Measures temperature across a wide range: -40° to +135°C

Easyto install—adhesive strips on the 110PV's smooth face adhere to the back of a solar panel or other device

Aluminium disk protects thermistor and promotes heat transfer from surfaces

Makes accurate measurements in environments with heavy electromagnetic interference

Compatible with the CWS900-series interfaces, allowing it to be usedin a wireless sensor network

Technical Description

The 110PV consists of a thermistor encased in an aluminium disk The disk protects the thermistor and promotes heat transfer from surfaces. An adhesive tab on the probe’s aluminium disk fastentshe 110PV to the measurement surface. If the temperature may exceed 70°C, Kapton tape is also requiredto secure the probe; Kapton tape is offered as a Common Accessory (see Ordering Info). Note: Campbell Scientific does not recommend using epoxy to secure the 110PVto a PV module.

The 110PV can provide the photovoltaic (PV) module temperature for solar energy applications. This measurement is useful because the output of a PV module is affected by its temperature. As the temperature of the PV module increases, its output decreases.
