Campbell Scientific CNR4 Net Radiometer - Manual (Page 9)

CNR4 Net Radiometer
1. Introduction
The CNR4 is a research-grade net radiometer that measures the energy balance
between incoming and outgoing radiation. Our dataloggers measure the
CNR4’s output. This net radiometer offers a professional solution for
scientific-grade energy balance studies.
Before using the CNR4, please study:
• Section 2, Cautionary Statements
• Section 3, Initial Inspection
• Section 4, Quickstart
2. Cautionary Statements
• Although the CNR4 is rugged, it is also a highly precise scientific
instrument and should be handled as such.
• Care should be taken when opening the shipping package to not damage or
cut the cable jacket. If damage to the cable is suspected, consult with a
Campbell Scientific applications engineer.
• Do not attempt to rotate the instrument using the sensor heads, or you may
damage the sensors; use the mounting rod only.
3. Initial Inspection
• Upon receipt of the CNR4, inspect the packaging and contents for damage.
File damage claims with the shipping company.
• The model number and cable length are printed on a label at the
connection end of the cable. Check this information against the shipping
documents to ensure the correct product and cable length are received.
• Refer to the Ships With list to ensure that parts are included (see Section
3.1, Ships With).
