Mounting the Sensor
M4 mounting screws are provided for the two tapped holes in the base of
each sensor. The mounting holes are at 43 mm spacing.
Warning!
Do not use the central hole for mounting the sensor. It is
provided only for factory calibration purposes.
The sensor is usually mounted horizontally for most solar radiation
insolation studies. The readings then give the irradiance (W.m
-2
) of a
horizontal surface.
A levelling mount is offered as an option, or you can easily make up your
own mounting plate.
If you need to remove excess length of cable at this stage, simply cut off
the excess, but allow for a sufficient length of the cable screen.
Levelling Mount type SRLF1
This is a freestanding platform with adjustable legs and bubble level to
allow the sensor to be accurately mounted horizontally.
