Module Temperature Sensors
Pt-1000 Class A, Back-of-Module Temperature Sensor - CS241
The CS241 is the next generation of Campbell Scientific back-of-module temperature sensors with new features designed for bifacial photovoltaic (PV) module performance assessment and soiling. The probe head has been redesigned for easier installation. The measurement performance has been improved with a smaller footprint that is optimized to reduce back-of-module shading and eliminate surface cooling. Other improvements include greater sensor-to-module bonding/adhesion and a thinner Teflon cable with a higher temperature rating. To meet the requirements of performance validation, every CS241 is supplied with a NIST-traceable, serialized calibration certificate.
Benefits and Features :
- Redesigned for optimal performance on bifacial PV module
- Easy installation with maximum sensor-to-module bonding strength and smaller profile
- NIST-traceable, serialized calibration certificate supplied with every sensor
- Meets or exceeds IEC 61724 Class A performance specifications
- Precision Pt-1000 Class A sensing element
- Compliant with IEC 60751, DIN EN 60751 (according to IEC 751)
- IP68 rating, making the sensor suitable for use on floating PV arrays
- Slim design to minimize sensor impact on bifaciality (<2% of full-size cell area)
- Thermal conductance greater than 600 W/(m2*K)
- Maximum sensor-to-module bonding
- High temperature rating to 150°C
- Two-wire and four-wire configuration to satisfy data logger channel count and accuracy—at any cable length
- Quick sensor head connection for easier installation and replacement

Module Temperature Sensors - Tm-Pt1000 / Tm-Pt1000-box
Measure the temperature of your PV module with utmost precision and minimal drift to assess your system’s productivity.
Our module temperature sensors are equipped with a sturdy aluminum housing and robust, weatherproof cabling. Thanks to the use of premium components, the sensors achieve high accuracy and are ideal for use in industrial environments and on-site usage (e.g. PV module temperature).
The sensor element’s compact design also makes it perfect for measuring temperature of bifacial modules.
Sensors are available with multiple output options i.e 0-10V, 4~20mA and RS485 MODBUS.
