EKO MS-80 Albedometer Quick start guide

  • Hello! I'm your chat assistant. I've reviewed the Quick Start Guide for the EKO pyranometers MS-80, MS-60, MS-40, MS-805, MS-605, and MS-405. This document outlines the installation, wiring, and output checking procedures for these devices. It also provides key information on calculating solar irradiance and periodic maintenance, such as recalibration. I'm ready to answer any questions you might have about these pyranometers.
  • What is the recommended recalibration period for MS-80/80S?
    What is the recommended recalibration period for MS-60/60S and MS-40/40S?
    What should I do if any part is missing or damaged?
    What is the purpose of the shunt resistor?

*0-10mA: 0-1V through 100Ω external shunt resistor
When using the 0-1V, please prepare the precision resister 100
0-10mA/0-1V output line is disabled and can be enabled through the EKO configurator.
When using a shunt resistor to measure voltage, please use a resistor of <150
