Appendix A.  CVF3 Heater/Ventilator 

A.3  CVF3 Installation  

The CVF3 heater/ventilator unit includes the heater/ventilator unit, white 
cover, cable, and mounting hardware.  

Tools required for mounting to a tripod or tower are:  

•

 

Small and medium Phillips screwdrivers  

•

 

5/16”, 1/2” open end wrenches  

•

 

5/32” Allen wrench  

•

 

Tape measure  

•

 

UV-resistant wire ties  

•

 

Side-cut pliers  

•

 

Compass  

•

 

Step ladder  

To install, do the following: 

1.

 

Remove leveling screws from the pyranometer. 

2.

 

Fit the pyranometer in the upper plate of the CVF3 (see FIGURE A-2). 

3.

 

Use the counter sink screws, nylon rings, and nuts to secure the upper plate 
of the CVF3 with the lower portion of the unit (see FIGURE A-2).
