3. Installation

The CM3 should be mounted such that it is never shaded by the tripod/tower or
other sensors.

To ensure accurate measurements, the CM3 should be mounted using the
CM3MT base/leveling fixture or equivalent. The CM3MT incorporates a
bubble level and three adjustment screws. Mount the CM3 Pyranometer to the
CM3MT mount using the two long screws provided. The screws are slightly
shorter than ideal but should provide adequate holding strength.
