1. Introduction
The CM225, CM255, CM256, CM261, CM266, CM268, and CM275 solar radiation sensor mounts
(Figure 1-1 [p. 2]) are designed for installation on a mast, crossarm, or pole. The top plate features
mounting holes that accommodate a wide variety of sensors.
The CM256, CM261, and CM275 offer multiple mounting plate options, allowing compatibility
with numerous sensors. Additionally, the CM261 includes three torque tube mounting options.
The CM256, CM266, CM268, and CM275 have an optional Small Plastic Plate (-SPP), which is
identical to the Small Plate (-SP) but made of durable plastic instead of aluminum. This option is
recommended when sensor manufacturers specify isolating the sensor from metal framework
components.
Mount features:
l The CM225 can be mounted horizontally on a crossarm or vertically on a mast or pole
while maintaining a level mounting plate.
l The CM226 mounts on a mast, crossarm, or pole up to 5 cm (2 in) in diameter. It includes a
leveling base required for smaller sensors, such as the Apogee CS301.
l The CM255 and CM256 support both horizontal and vertical mounting with a 90°
adjustment for positioning at different angles (Figure 4-1 [p. 3]). They attach to round
tubing, such as a tripod upright or crossarm.
l The CM261 is designed specifically for securing a pyranometer to an ATI or NexTracker
torque tube but can also be used with any 12.7 cm (5 in) diameter tube.
l The CM266 mounts in a Unistrut channel and can be installed horizontally or vertically.
l The CM268 attaches directly to the edge of a solar panel, aligning the solar radiation
sensor with the panel’s orientation.
l The CM275 is a universal solar albedo mounting stand for installing any combination of
downwelling/upwelling pyranometer, ventilation unit, reference cell, or spectral
radiometer.

6. Installation and siting


6.1 Siting
The solar radiation sensor is usually installed horizontally but can also be installed at any angle
including an inverted position. In all cases, it will measure the flux that is incident on the surface

Solar Radiation Sensor Mounts 7


parallel to the sensor surface. Site the sensor to allow easy access for maintenance while ideally
avoiding any obstructions or reflections above the plane of the sensing element. Mount the
sensor such that a shadow or a reflection will not be cast on it at any time. Figure 6-1 (p. 8) shows
how to calculate the distance needed from any potential obstruction.

Figure 6-1. Solar sensor placement

If this is not possible, try to choose a site where any obstruction over the azimuth range between
earliest sunrise and latest sunset has an elevation not exceeding 5°. Diffuse solar radiation is less
influenced by obstructions near the horizon. For instance, an obstruction with an elevation of 5°
over the whole azimuth range of 360° decreases the downward diffuse solar radiation by only
0.8%. The sensor should be mounted with the cable pointing towards the nearest magnetic pole.
For example, in the Northern Hemisphere, point the cable toward the North Pole.

6.2 Installation
1. On a level surface, level the solar radiation sensor using the leveling feet on the sensor.
Alternatively, remove the sensor leveling feet to allow it to be mounted directly to the
mounting bracket. Smaller sensors, such as the CS301, do not have leveling feet and must
be mounted directly to a leveling base.

Solar Radiation Sensor Mounts 8


2. Secure the solar radiation sensor to the mounting bracket. Refer to Figure 6-2 (p. 9) to
determine which mounting holes are used by the sensor. Visually inspect the leveling feet
on the sensor (if present) to ensure all feet are in contact with the mounting bracket.

Figure 6-2. Mounting plates with compatible sensors

3. Using a diopter in combination with a solar compass, install and orient the crossarm on the
tripod or the mast. If installing the mounting bracket on a vertical pole, ensure the pole is
truly vertical.

Solar Radiation Sensor Mounts 9


4. Secure the mounting bracket to the crossarm or the vertical pole using the hardware
included with the mounting bracket. The CM225, CM255, and CM261 use one or two
U-bolts, nuts, flat washers, and lock washers to mount the bracket (Figure 6-3 [p. 10]).

Figure 6-3. CM255 showing U-bolt mounting

Solar Radiation Sensor Mounts 10


5. The CM256 and CM275 bracket (Figure 6-4 [p. 11]) use two set screws to secure the
crossarm or the pole in the channel at the base of the bracket. For pyranometers mounted
horizontally, ensure the mounting bracket is horizontal in two dimensions. For
pyranometers to be mounted at an angle with the CM255 or CM256, set the mounting
bracket angle to the desired angle prior to tightening the mounting hardware.

Figure 6-4. CM256 (CM275 inset)

Solar Radiation Sensor Mounts 11


6. The CM226 uses two bolts, wing nuts, and a clamp piece to secure it to a crossarm or mast
(Figure 6-5 [p. 12]).

Figure 6-5. CM226 showing horizontal and vertical mount options

Solar Radiation Sensor Mounts 12


7. The CM266 can be mounted vertically or horizontally on a Unistrut. To install, insert the
bolt through the front of the mounting plate and thread the Unistrut nut onto the bolt by
two turns. Slide the Unistrut nut into the Unistrut, making sure the two tabs on the CM266
also slide into the Unistrut to lock its orientation. Position the CM266 at the desired location
and fully tighten the bolt, ensuring the nut rotates into place.
The mounting arm can be installed either to the top or bottom pair of mounting bolts,
depending on the desired position. Secure the bracket in place with washers, lock washers,
and nuts.

Figure 6-6. CM266 mounted to both horizontal and vertical Unistruts

Solar Radiation Sensor Mounts 13


8. The CM268 clamps onto the edge of a solar panel, aligning the mount with the panel's
orientation. To install, loosen the bolt securing the clamp on the CM268. Slide the clamp
over the bottom edge of the solar panel then pivot the CM268 up so the tab slides over the
top of the solar panel. Fully tighten the bolt to clamp the mount to the panel.
Like the CM266, there are two pairs of mounting studs. The mounting arm can be mounted
on the top or lower pair of studs, depending on the user’s needs.

Figure 6-7. CM268 mounted to a solar panel

9. Verify all mounting hardware is firmly tightened, and that the mounting bracket is at the
desired angle. The CM226, CM256, CM261, CM266, CM268, and CM275 include leveling
bolts for additional adjustment of the pyranometer level.

7. Maintenance
Periodically (at least yearly) check for wear and damage and take necessary corrective actions.
Ensure all bolts are securely tightened.
