LP02 Pyranometer

The sensor should be mounted with the cable pointing towards the nearest

magnetic pole, e.g., in the Northern Hemisphere point the cable toward the

North Pole.

The CM225 Solar Sensor Mounting Stand is used to attach the LP02 to a

vertical pipe (1.0 – 2.1” OD) as shown in Figure 6.3-1. The LP02 includes a

base with three leveling screws, bubble level, and mounting screws.

Attach the LP02 to the CM225 as follows:

1. Loosely mount the pyranometer and fixture on the mounting arm, with the

leveling screws lightly touching the mounting plate. Do not fully tighten

the two mounting screws.

2. Turn the leveling screws as required to bring the bubble of the spirit level

within the ring. (For easy leveling first use the screw nearest the spirit

level.)

3. Tighten the mounting screws to secure the assembly in its final position.

Check that the pyranometer is still correctly leveled and adjust as

necessary.
