Overview
The LP02, manufactured by Hukseflux, is an ISO 9060:2018 spectrally flat Class C (second class) pyranometer that monitors solar radiation for the full solar spectrum range. It produces a millivolt signal that is measured directly by a Campbell Scientific data logger. The LP02 can provide solar radiation measurements for a variety of meteorological applications.
Key Advantages
Blackened thermopile provides full solar spectrum range
Technical Description
The LP02 measures solar radiation with a high-quality blackened thermopile protected by a dome. The blackened thermopile provides a flat spectral response for the full solar spectrum range, which enables the LP02 to be used under plant canopies or lamps, when the sky is cloudy, and for reflected radiation measurements.
The LP02 includes a bubble level, three adjusting screws, and a cable gland. The bubble level and adjusting screws allow the sensor to be leveled without using a leveling base. The gland facilitates cable replacement.
The LP02 produces a millivolt signal that is measured directly by a Campbell Scientific data logger.
Two LP02 pyranometers can be mounted back-to-back to make a low-cost albedometer. Contact Campbell Scientific for more information.
Because the LP02 is a second-class pyranometer, it is acceptable for providing the solar radiation data used in stability estimations (EPA Meteorological Monitoring Guidance for Regulatory Modeling Applications, pages 2-10).

(4)CM255
Solar Adjustable-Angle Mounting Stand
The CM255 is used for mounting the LP02-L at an angle.
OrderableCM256
Adjustable Plane and Angle Solar Mounting Stand
To use the CM256, the -SP option is needed.
The CM256 adjustable-angle, adjustable-plane mounting stand further simplifies the accurate and precise mounting of a pyranometer, ventilation unit, shadowband radiometer, or reference cell. Several pyranometer mounting stands have been combined and simplified to make ordering easier and usability friendlier. The CM256 is a combination of the CM255LS pyranometer mount, CM245 reference cell and shadowband mount, 31394 VU01 mount, and 31153 CVF4 mount. In addition, several new sensors are now fully supported such as the SPN1, MS-80(M), SR30, SR05, and IMT reference cell CM325.OrderableCM261
Single-Axis Tracker Mounting Stand
The CM261 single-axis tracker pyranometer mount with adjustable plane simplifies the mounting of any pyranometer, ventilation unit, reference cell, or SPN1 to octagonal, round, and square single-axis torque tubes. The CM261 is a combination and simplification of the CM260 and CM265 to make ordering easier and usability friendlier. The bracket includes provisions for mounting the sensors and ventilation units at different heights, allowing the sensing element to be mounted at the same height as the solar modules.

Albedometer Mounting Kit with Plastic Plates
The CM275 is a universal solar albedo mounting stand for mounting any downwelling/upwelling combination of pyranometer, ventilation unit, reference cell, or spectral radiometer.

Compatibility
Mounting
The LP02 includes a bubble level and three adjusting leveling screws, which allow the sensor to be leveled without using a leveling base. The CM225 Solar Sensor Mounting Stand is used to attach the sensor to a crossarm. The CM225 consists of a rectangular plate, mounting bracket, U-bolts, washers, lock washers, and nuts. The LP02 should be mounted away from all obstructions and reflective surfaces that might adversely affect the measurement.
If the sensor needs to be mounted at an angle, a CM255 or CM255LS adjustable-angle mount can be used instead.
