Safety section at the back of this manual. Do not remove the screws on the top cover of the CS325DM, as this may compromise the weather-proof seal. To minimize the potential for water entry to the sealed housing, mount the CS325DM with the cable facing down or to the side.
SCADA systems when installing a new unit. The CS325DM measures irradiance using a crystalline silicon PV cell. The PV cell short-circuit current is measured with a precision shunt resistor and PV cell temperature is measured with a back-of-cell resistance temperature device (RTD).

Analog output options: 0 to 1.5 V; 0 to 10 V; 4 to 20 mA Output signals: Irradiance, cell temperature, short-circuit current Output impedance: 2 kohm (0 to 1.5 V or 0 to 10 V mode) Internal voltage drop: Allow 3.5 V minimum (4 to 20 mA mode) CS325DM Silicon Irradiance Reference Sensor...
6. Siting A CS325DM used for monitoring PV installations must be installed with the same alignment and inclination as the PV generator. The mounting location should be free of shading. To facilitate maintenance and cleaning, mount the CS325DM in an easily accessible location such as near windows or skylights.

The RS-485 output can be directly read by a MeteoPV, CR6-series, CR1000X-series, or Modbus RTU RS-485 network. Other Campbell Scientific data loggers can use an MD485 multidrop interface to read the RS-485 output. Refer to the MD485 manual for information about using the MD485.

G167, ISO 9846, ASTM E824 or ASTM G207 by an accredited lab. The recommended recalibration interval is 2 years. The most common reason for communication failure for the CS325DM is because the sensor is not configured properly. Ensure that the sensor has a unique Modbus address and proper RS-485 settings.
