6.11.2 Connecting an Irradiation Sensor

You can connect one irradiation sensor or pyranometer to the Cluster Controller. The measured
value from the irradiation sensor or pyranometer is shown on the display and the user interface of
the Cluster Controller and transmitted to Sunny Portal. In Sunny Portal, the measured values are
used to calculate the performance ratio.

Additionally required material (not included in the scope of delivery):

☐ 1 irradiation sensor
1 connection cable (see Section 6.3 "Cable Requirements", page 30)

Requirements:

☐ The sensor must be technically suitable for connection to the analog inputs (see Section 9,

page 84).

The connection cable must be prepared for connection to the multipole plug (see Section 6.5,

page 33).
