CS300 Pyranometer

1. General Description

The CS300 measures incoming solar radiation with a silicon photovoltaic

detector mounted in a cosine-corrected head. Output from the detector is a

current, which is converted to voltage by a potentiometer potted in the sensor

head. The resistance of the potentiometer is adjusted when the sensor is

calibrated so that all sensors have the same output sensitivity.

The CS300 is calibrated against a Kipp and Zonen CM21 under natural

sunlight to accurately measure sun plus sky radiation (300 to 1100 nm). The

CS300 should not be used under vegetation or artificial lights.

During the night the CS300 may read slightly negative incoming solar

radiation. This negative signal is caused by RF noise passing through the

photo-diode. Negative values may be set to zero in the datalogger program.

For more theoretical information on the silicon photovoltaic detector see Kerr,

climatological observer stations and mesoscale networks. J. Appl. Meteor., 6,

688-694.

2. Specifications

Power requirements: none, self-powered

Absolute accuracy: ±5% for daily total radiation

Cosine response: ±4% at 75° zenith angle

±1% at 45° zenith angle

Temperature response: <1% at 5° to 40°C

Long-term stability: <2% per year

Operating temperature: -40° to +55°C

Relative humidity: 0 to 100%

Output: 0.2 mV per W m-2

Dimensions: 0.9" (2.4 cm) diameter, 1.0" (2.5 cm) height

The black outer jacket of the cable is Santoprene® rubber. This

compound was chosen for its resistance to temperature extremes,

moisture, and UV degradation. However, this jacket will

support combustion in air. It is rated as slow burning when

tested according to U.L. 94 H.B. and will pass FMVSS302.

Local fire codes may preclude its use inside buildings.

NOTE

CS300 Pyranometer

3. Installation

The CS300 should be mounted such that it is never shaded by the tripod/tower

or other sensors. The sensor should be mounted with the cable pointing

towards the nearest magnetic pole, e.g., in the Northern Hemisphere point the

cable toward the North Pole.

Mounting height is not critical for the accuracy of the measurement. However,

pyranometers mounted at heights of 3 m or less are easier to level and clean.

To ensure accurate measurements, the CS300 should be mounted using

PN 18356 base/leveling fixture, which incorporates a bubble level and three

adjustment screws. The CS300 and base/leveling fixture are attached to a

tripod or tower using one of three mounting configurations (see Figures 3-1

and 3-2).

Newer CS300 pyranometers have a bulge in their cable

that contains a circuit board (located 18” from the sensor

head). The bulge should be mounted on the underside of

the mounting arm to give some protection from direct

sunlight. To prevent the circuit board from being moved or

stressed, cable tie each side of the bulge to the mounting

arm.

CAUTION

Tools required for installation on a tripod or tower:

Small and medium Phillips screwdrivers

1/2” open end wrench for CM225 or 015ARM (Figures 3-1, 3-2)

Tape measure

UV-resistant cable ties

Side-cut pliers

Compass

Step ladder

Remove the red cap after installing the sensor. Save this cap for

shipping or storing the sensor.

Short Cut for Windows software is used to create the datalogger program, the

5. Programming

This section is for users who write their own datalogger programs. A

datalogger program to measure this sensor can be created using Campbell

Scientific’s Short Cut Program Builder software. You do not need to read this

section to use Short Cut.

The output from the CS300 is 0.2 mV per Wm-2. The voltage signal from the

CS300 is measured using the single-ended voltage instruction (VoltSE in

CRBasic or Instruction 1 in Edlog). Dataloggers that use CRBasic include the

CR200(X), CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR3000, CR5000, and CR9000(X).

Dataloggers that use Edlog include CR7, CR10(X), CR510, and CR23X. Both

CRBasic and Edlog are included in PC400 and LoggerNet datalogger support

software.

CS300 Pyranometer

Solar radiation can be recorded as an average flux density (W m-2) or daily

total flux density (MJ m-2). The appropriate multipliers are listed in Table 5-1.

Negative values should be set to zero before being processed.

and Total Flux Density in SI and English Units

UNITS MULTIPLIER PROCESS

cal cm-2 min-1 0.005 * (1.434) Average

cal cm-2 t * 0.005 * (0.0239) Total

t = datalogger execution interval in seconds

Nearby AC power lines, electric pumps, or motors can be a source of electrical

noise. If the sensor or datalogger is located in an electrically noisy

environment, the measurement should be made with the 60 or 50 Hz rejection

integration option as shown in the example programs.

5.1 Example Programs

The following programs measure the CS300 every 10 seconds and convert the

mV output to Wm-2 and MJm-2. Both programs output an hourly average flux

(Wm-2), and a daily total flux density (MJm-2). Negative values are set to zero

before being processed. Wiring for the examples is given in Table 5-2.
