Two-way radiometer compatible with most Campbell dataloggers
Mounting
To avoid shading and to promote spatial averaging, the CNR2 should be mounted at least 1.5 m above the ground and away from obstructions. It can be attached to a vertical pipe or horizontal crossarm (CM202, CM204, or CM206). To do this, first connect the radiometer to the 26127 Mounting Boom. The mounting boom then attaches to the pipe or crossarm via the 26120 Net Radiation Sensor Mounting Kit. The kit includes adjustment screws for leveling the CNR2. Sensitivity is reduced when the radiometer is not level (see tilt-error in specifications).
The 26127 Mounting Boom began shipping with the CNR2 in January 2010. If you purchased the radiometer before January 2010 or bought it directly from Kipp & Zonen, you need to purchase the 26127 Mounting Boom from Campbell Scientific in order to mount the CNR2 to a crossarm or pole via the 26120 mounting kit.
