Technical Description

The CS240 consists of a Pt-1000 class A PRT encased in an aluminum disk. The disk protects the PRT, particularly during installation when pulled through conduit, and promotes heat transfer from the surface. An adhesive tab on the disk fastens the C5240 to the measurement surface. If the temperature may exceed 70°C, Extreme sealing tape is also required to secure the probe.

The C5240 provides PV stakeholders with highly accurate back-of-module temperature, even at long cable lengths, for use in power performance modeling and simulation of solar energy applications. Back-of-module temperature is critical for any evaluation of effective irradiance and power conversion.
