Model: 3S-IS-LR
RS-485 Modbus
- Requires the RS-485/USB converter to connect to an EG4xxx meter. If multiple sensors will be used on the same serial bus, the Modbus address must be configured. See the Manufacturer's resource section below and download the OEM configuration tool to change sensor configuration settings.
- This sensor does not include measurement of cell temp.
Overview
The Residential Irradiance Sensor is designed to measure irradiance for residential, rooftop, or small-scale PV projects. While industrial, commercial, and utility-scale PV systems require advanced features and high-accuracy meteorological sensors, these demands are less critical for residential and small-scale applications. The cost of the sensor should align with the scale of the PV system, and this has been accomplished with the Residential Irradiance Sensor. As a supported Modbus device, the Residential Irradiance sensor communicates to the eGauge using the RS-485/USB converter.
