Crossarm mounting fixture for pyranometers, albedometers and net radiometers

We offer a full range of practical brackets for mounting atmospheric radiation sensors in all climates and weather conditions. CMF01 is a versatile fixture allowing mounting a crossarm onto a vertical mast. It is used with SR300-D1, SR200-D1, SR100-D1, SR30-M2-D1, SR15 series and SR05 pyranometers with their mounting fixtures. It can also be used with NR01 net radiometers, SRA series albedometers and with PMF01.

Description

Crossarm mounting fixture for pyranometers, albedometers and net radiometers

CMF01 is a practical mounting fixture for mounting a crossarm. The purpose of the crossarm is to mount radiometers on a mast. The crossarm may serve to mount multiple instruments. The crossarm also creates some distance between the radiometer and the mast, so that the mast does not cast a shadow and does not reflect radiation onto the instrument. A typical distance between the radiometer and the mast is 1.5 m.

Most crossarms used in radiometry are mounted in the north-south direction so that the radiometer can be mounted towards the equator and a mast extending above the crossarm does not cast a shadow on the instrument.

In PV monitoring we also see crossarms oriented in the east-west direction to mount instruments for Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI), Plane of Array Irradiance (POA) and Reflected Horizontal Irradiance (RHI).
