3. Initial Inspection
•
Upon receiving the solar radiation sensor mount, inspect the packaging

4. Overview
Campbell Scientific solar radiation sensor mounts provide a stable mounting
platform for a pyranometer, quantum sensor, or radiometer. The flexibility in
these designs allows a sensor to be mounted to a horizontal crossarm, or to a
vertical mast or tower. With the 015ARM, the sensor is mounted away from
the vertical pipe, allowing for a more unobstructed view of the sky. The
CM255 and CM255LS may be mounted at different angles, depending on the
user’s needs (FIGURE 4-1 ).
