The Middleton Solar DN5-B is an upgraded version of the DN5. It is an affordable precision pyrheliometer for measuring solar Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) when aimed at the sun. It exceeds the international accepted specifications for a Spectrally Flat Class B pyrheliometer. The DN5-B has a passive microvolt output. The DN5-BE version has an in-built amplifier to give a millivolt output for easy signal measurement.
