7.1 Siting
The CS310 should be mounted such that no shadows or reflections are cast on it by the
tripod/tower or other sensors. Mounting the CS310 on a crossarm can help avoid reflections from
the tripod or tower mast. 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.
Mounting height is not critical for the accuracy of the measurement. However, pyranometers
mounted at heights of 3 m or less are easier to level and clean.
7.2 Mounting procedure
The CS310 mounts to a tripod or tower using the CM226 Solar Sensor Stand, which integrates
level
l
ing and mounting hardware into one mount.
NOTE:
You can also use a CM225 or 015ARM to mount the CS310 to a tripod or tower. However, a
leveling base is required. The installation procedure for using the CM225 and 015ARM
mounts is available in an older manual at
www.campbellsci.com/old-manuals
.
Tools required for installation on a tripod or tower:
l
Tape measure
l
UV-resistant wire ties
l
Compass
