3. Sunscreen, Body and Spirit Level
Sunscreen prevent body temperature increase generated by direct sun-light. Weather resistant metal is used
for the body, which has resistant against decrease of nocturnal radiation and heat radiation, and rain and
dusts. The integrated sprit level is used to setup and maintain the sensor in a horizontally leveled position.
4. Drying agent
A silica-gel is used to keep the sensor volume dry. The dry air inside the sensor body prevents condensation
of humidity on the inside of the glass dome.
5. Cable and Cable Connector
All pyranometers are shipped with a 10 meter long output cable as standard length*.
Durable materials are used for the cable and connector, and pin terminals are attached at the end of the cable
for easy connection with data logger terminal block.
* If longer cables, round terminals or fork terminals are required, please contact EKO Instruments or your
distributor. [Also see [7. Specification, 7-4. Accessories List] for optional items.]
The connector should be protected by the self-fusing tape when the pyranometers are used in the areas
with the risk of the salt damage.
