No, one UVPS-1 power supply will run two pyranometers: each UVB-1 or UVA-1 needs 500mA@+12V ea, plus about 30mA@-12V ea. You can also use our YESDAS-2 data logger to provide DC from your AC power mains. If you are technical, you can even build your own DC supply (however, it must be an electrically quiet linear-type DC power supply, not a switching-supply).
