CM3 Pyranometer

1. General Description

This manual provides information for interfacing Kipp & Zonen’s CM3

Pyranometer to a CR10(X), CR510, CR23X, CR7 or 21X datalogger.

The CM3 is shipped with an instruction manual provided by Kipp & Zonen that

contains information concerning the CM3’s construction, spectral sensitivity,

cosine response, and a simple sensor check out procedure. Included with the

sensor and manual is a calibration certificate with the sensor calibration

constant and serial number. Cross check this serial number against the serial

number on your CM3 to ensure that the given calibration constant corresponds

to your sensor.

The CM3 pyranometer is designed for continuous outdoor use. Due to its flat

spectral sensitivity from 300 to 3000 nm, it can be used in natural sunlight,

under plant canopies, in green houses or buildings, and inverted to measure

reflected solar radiation. Two CM3s can be used in combination with an

albedometer fixture (K&Z’s CAF 1) to measure albedos. The CM3 can also be

used to measure most types of artificial light (Xenon lamps, Halogen lamps,

etc.).

The CM3 pyranometer consists of a thermopile sensor, a housing, a dome, and

a cable. The thermopile is coated with a black absorbent coating. The paint

absorbs the radiation and converts it to heat. The resultant temperature

difference is converted to a voltage by the copper-constantin thermopile. The

thermopile is encapsulated in the housing in such a way that it has a field of

view of 180 degrees and the angular characteristics needed to fulfill the cosine

response requirements.

2. Specifications

The CM3 is an ISO Second Class pyranometer. While the worst case accuracy

for daily sums given by Kipp & Zonen is +10%, the typical accuracy is +5%.

Tests at Campbell Scientific on one CM3 indicated an accuracy of +2% when

compared to a recently calibrated Eppley PSP.

3. Installation

The CM3 should be mounted such that it is never shaded by the tripod/tower or

other sensors.

To ensure accurate measurements, the CM3 should be mounted using the

CM3MT base/leveling fixture or equivalent. The CM3MT incorporates a

bubble level and three adjustment screws. Mount the CM3 Pyranometer to the

CM3MT mount using the two long screws provided. The screws are slightly

shorter than ideal but should provide adequate holding strength.

FIGURE 3-1. CM3 and CM3MT

Install the CM3MT Mount on either the 025 Pyranometer Cross Arm Stand, the

015 Pyranometer Mounting Arm, or the UTKZ (not yet available, please call)

before mounting them to the tower or tripod. This is done by first threading the

screws through the springs and just barely through the mounting plate. This

helps remove any paint that might have gotten into the threaded holes. Second,

remove two of the screws/springs, slide the CM3MT Mount onto the remaining

screw by slightly compressing the spring. Slide the remaining two springs

between the CM3MT and the 015 or 025 mount and install the remaining two

screws. Tighten the screws until all three springs have been compressed about

1/8 inch.

Once the pyranometer mount has been installed on the tripod or tower, tighten

the appropriate screws until the bubble indicates the sensor is level.

4. Wiring

Use Differential Voltage measurement instruction 2 to measure the CM3. The

CM3 wiring diagram is shown in Figure 4-1.

The red lead is connected to the high side (H) of any differential channel. The

blue lead is connected to the corresponding low (L) side of the differential

channel. On a CR10(X) or CR510, the white lead is connected to an analog

ground (AG) and the clear to ground (G). On the CR23X, 21X or CR7 both the

white and clear leads are connected to ground ( ).

While a differential measurement is better and preferred, the CM3 can be

measured on a single-ended channel using Instruction 1 if the power induced

voltages discussed in the following paragraph are prevented.

CM3 Pyranometer

If a 21X is used to measure the CM3 and it powers a 12 VDC sensor or 12

VDC radio, the current drawn off the 12 VDC supply may cause a difference in

ground potential between the 21X ground terminals and the reference ground

point in the datalogger. This ground potential results in an offset on single

ended measurements. This offset can be as large as +60 mV. Thus, single

ended measurements should be avoided. The offset does not, however, affect

differential measurements. While the 21X is the logger most susceptible to this

condition, the other dataloggers can be affected if the amount of power is too

large or the power return line is connected to analog ground (AG).

5. Example Programs

Solar radiation can be reported 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.

Programming examples are given for both average and daily total solar

radiation.

The output from the CM3 varies from 10-35 x 10-6V / W m-2. Given a

maximum solar radiation of 1500 W m-2, the maximum sensor output voltage

will be 15 - 52.5 mV. Example:

(21.87 x 10-6 V W-1m2) ∗(1500 W m-2) = 0.03281 V or 32.81 mV
