DC IN 

Beside  batteries  the  Meteon  can  be  operated  on  external  DC  power.  When  using  the  Mencke  & 
Tegtmeyer temperature sensor this is a must, because it requires 12 VDC. 

The DC input can accept 10 – 24 Volt DC, nominal 12 VDC.  If DC power is not present or below 10 Volt,  
the Meteon will switch to battery use. 

6.2

 

Analog 

Here an analog radiometer can be connected like CMP11. The GND connection can be used to connect 
the shield of the radiometer cable. 

6.3

 

Pulse 

The pulse input connection to relate the incoming radiation to the generated electrical power can be 
used when your power meter has a so called S0-output. The number of pulses per kWh can be set in
