Using the SunEye
Using the SunEye Extension Kit
The Quick Skyline Capture Mode is a SunEye device feature that will postpone the image pro-
cessing of captured skylines. This speeds up the measurement process by decreasing the time it
takes the SunEye 210 to prepare for a subsequent skyline capture. Unprocessed skylines can be
processed at any time on the device or by transferring the session to a computer.
Also, Quick Skyline Capture Mode immediately prepares the SunEye 210 to capture another
skyline. This speeds up the measurement process by eliminating the need to collapse the exten-
sion pole to set up the SunEye 210 for each skyline capture. Quick Skyline Capture Mode can
also be used without Extension Kit Mode.

Precautions and Safety Notes
Solmetric takes safety very seriously, and we encourage the operator to be careful when using
the SunEye Extension Kit.
C A U T I O N Do not use the Extension Kit near cables, electric power lines, or telephone lines. Maintain a
minimum clearance of 10 feet (3 meters) from all power lines, even though the Extension Kit is
made of nonconductive materials.
• Always ensure that the SunEye is securely screwed into the mounting plate and that the mounting
plate is securely attached to the top of the extension pole.
• Rest the bottom of the pole on the ground so that the weight of the entire Extension Kit does not
need to be supported. This will also make the measurement process easier because the SunEye
210 will be more stable.
• After supporting the Extension Kit for a long time, the operator may experience some fatigue and
the Extension Kit may seem heavy. Take a break or get help from a second person if needed.
