3. Siting

The solar radiation sensor is usually installed horizontally, but can also be installed at any angle

including an inverted position. Site the sensor to allow easy access for maintenance while ideally

avoiding any obstructions or reflections above the plane of the sensing element. It is important

to mount the sensor such that a shadow or a reflection will not be cast on it at any time. If this is

not possible, try to choose a site where any obstruction over the azimuth range between earliest

sunrise and latest sunset has an elevation not exceeding 5°. Diffuse solar radiation is less

influenced by obstructions near the horizon. The sensor should be mounted with the cable

pointing towards the nearest magnetic pole. For example, in the northern hemisphere, point the

cable toward the North Pole.

4. Mounting procedure

Required tools:

lDiopter

lSolar compass

l8 mm (5/16-inch) open-end wrench for U-bolt nuts

1. On a level surface, level the solar radiation sensor using the leveling feet on the sensor.

Alternatively, remove the sensor leveling feet to allow it to be mounted directly to the

mounting bracket.

2. Secure the solar radiation sensor to the mounting bracket. The blue dots in the following

figure indicate the mounting holes used for this pyranometer.

3. Using a diopter in combination with a solar compass, install and orient the crossarm on the

tripod or the mast. If installing the mounting bracket on a vertical pole, ensure the pole is

truly vertical.

4. Secure the mounting bracket to the crossarm or vertical pole using the hardware included

with the mounting bracket. The CM255 uses one U-bolt, nuts, flat washers, and lock

washers to mount the bracket, as shown in the following figure.

5. For pyranometers mounted horizontally, ensure the mounting bracket is horizontal in two

dimensions. For pyranometers mounted at an angle, set the mounting bracket angle to the

desired angle prior to tightening the mounting hardware.

6. Verify mounting hardware is firmly tightened, and that the mounting bracket is at the

desired angle.

7. RS-485 programming

The RS-485 output can be directly read by a MeteoPV, CR6-series, CR1000X-series, or Modbus

RTU RS-485 network. Other Campbell Scientific data loggers can use an MD485 multidrop

interface to read the RS-485 output (refer to the MD485 manual).

A CR6 or CR1000X data logger programmed as a Modbus Master can retrieve the values stored in

the Input Registers. To do this, the CRBasic program requires a SerialOpen() instruction

followed by the ModbusMaster() instruction.

The SerialOpen instruction has the following syntax:

SerialOpen (ComPort, Baud, Format, TXDelay, BufferSize, Mode)

The Format is typically set to logic 1 low; even parity, one stop bit, 8 data bits. The Mode

parameter should configure the ComPort as RS-485 half-duplex, transparent. The

ModbusMaster() instruction has the following syntax:

ModbusMaster (Result, ComPort, Baud, Addr, Function, Variable, Start, Length,

Tries, TimeOut, [ModbusOption])

The Addr parameter must match the sensor Modbus address. To collect all of the values, the

Start parameter needs to be 1 and the Length parameter needs to correspond with the

the CRBasic Editor Help. Refer to Example programs (p. 8) for more information.

8. Analog programming

The pyranometer outputs a low level voltage that is measured using either the VoltDiff()

CRBasic instruction or VoltSE() CRBasic instruction.

CAUTION:

Nearby AC power lines, electric pumps, or motors can be a source of electrical noise. If the

sensor or data logger is located in an electrically noisy environment, the measurement should

be made with the 60 or 50 Hz rejection integration option as shown in the example programs.

If measurement time is not critical, the autorange option can be used in the VoltDiff() or

VoltSE() instruction; the autorange adds a few milliseconds to the measurement time.

Otherwise, select the input range as follows:

1. Estimate the maximum expected input voltage by multiplying the maximum expected

irradiance (in W × m–2) by the calibration factor (in μV / W × m–2). Divide the answer by

1000 to give the maximum in millivolt units.

2. Select the smallest input range that is greater than the maximum expected input voltage.

If electromagnetic radiation can be a problem, use an fN1 of 50 or 60 Hz. Select 60 Hz Noise

Rejection for North America and areas using 60 Hz AC voltage. Select 50 Hz Noise Rejection for

most of the Eastern Hemisphere and areas that operate at 50 Hz. The multiplier converts the

millivolt reading to engineering units. Table 8-1 (p. 7) provides the calculations required for the

various units. The offset will normally be fixed at zero (see Example programs (p. 8)).
