2.2 Installation
2.2.1 Environmental conditions
To perform accurate calibrations the calibration facility should preferably be installed in a separate room
with temperature controlled and ventilated environment and without spurious light reflections coming from
walls and other objects (ideally a dark-room). Kipp & Zonen reference pyranometers are calibrated at
approximately + 20 ºC, therefore it is strongly recommended to maintain similar environmental conditions.
2.2.2 Mechanical and electrical set-up
The calibration facility must be built up in the following order. The step-by-step procedure is illustrated in
the figures below.
Step 1 Mount the lamp pillar on the table and tightly secure it with the 4 countersunk bolts. The limit cam
should be visible at the front side of the lamp pillar.

Step 2 Slide the lamp mounting bracket over the lamp pillar and place the white clamping disk inside the
bracket.
