5 Frequently asked questions
□ Can I calibrate pyranometers from different manufacturers with the CFR?
The CFR is a universal calibration facility using a standardized calibration method that can be applied to
any other pyranometer model. Although one should take into account the basic principles of uniformity
between the test and reference pyranometer and ensuring equivalent detector heights.
□
Can I calibrate a Kipp & Zonen pyranometers using a higher standard Kipp & Zonen reference
pyranometer?
Most Kipp & Zonen pyranometers have a similar sensor geometry, therefore can be calibrated with a model
of a higher class. Kipp & Zonen offers different mounting adapters to accommodate pyranometers that do
not fit to the standard mounting bracket.
