3.5 LEVEL THE SOLYS 2 USING THE INTEGRATED BUBBLE LEVEL AND TRIPOD FEET

Prior to activating the SOLYS 2, it must be levelled on its mounting surface. To help accomplish this
task, the SOLYS 2 is equipped with a high accuracy bubble on top of the housing. Adjust the levelling
feet on the tripod stand to move the bubble into the centre of the level. The levelling feet can be easily
adjusted using a 13 mm wrench. The accuracy of the SOLYS 2 is within 0.1°when the bubble is within
the circle.

We recommend during installation to keep the bubble inside the ring for both the SOLYS 2 and the
Pyranometers.
If however the bubble is half out of the ring, the instruments (Pyranometer and SOLYS 2) are still within
0.1 ° (BSRN requirement)
