CNR2 Net Radiometer

FIGURE 3-2. The CNR2 mounted to a pole (top) and

crossarm (bottom) via the 26120 Mounting Bracket Kit.

For installation in buildings or in solar energy applications, users will often
have to mount the CNR2 parallel to the surface that is being studied. This may
be in a tilted or a vertical position. The sensitivity of the radiometers will be
affected, but only in a minor way. This is specified as the so-called tilt effect.
From the specifications, notice that the tilt effect (this is change in sensitivity)
remains within 1%.
