Sun Sensor Installation
The installation of the Sun Sensor is as follows:
• Remove two of the standard Pyrheliometer Clamps on a Large Side Mounting Plate.
• Instead attach the Adjustable Mounting Clamps supplied with the Sun Sensor Kit to the
Side Plate with the designated screws in the same manner as the Pyrheliometer Clamps,
see figure 4.27.
Figure 4.27: Attaching Sun Sensor with Adjustable Clamps.
Tip: It is recommended to change the Adjustable Mounting Clamps for the Sun Sensor before
going to the 2AP installation site. The standard clamps on the Large Side Mounting Plate
might be difficult to remove on-site.
Important:
Turn off the supply power to the 2AP before proceeding.
• Install the Extension Springs (x2) with the designated screws and washers. Do not tighten
the screws yet, leave some space.
• Ensure that the four Aluminium Adjusting Screws are not protruding past the inside surface
of the clamp. This will allow the Sun Sensor to mate up with the Base Clamp under the
Spring.
• Slide the Sun Sensor through the clamps and the springs. Ensure that the Sun Sensor is
mounted so that it’s decal is on top (facing upwards) and the protuding screw on the Sun
Sensor is facing down. The protruding screw is on the bottom of the Sun Sensor (not visible
in the diagram).
