1. Introduction The SR20-T2, manufactured by Hukseflux Thermal Sensors, is an ISO 9060 spectrally flat Class A (secondary standard) pyranometer that measures solar short-wave radiation in a full hemisphere of the sky. It has a built-in case temperature sensor and embedded heater for removing dew and light rain.

4. Click the Wiring tab to see how the sensor is to be wired to the data logger. Click OK after wiring the sensor. 5. Repeat steps three and four for other sensors. 6. In Output Setup, type the scan rate, meaningful table names, and Data Output Storage Interval. SR20-T2 ISO Spectrally Flat Class A (Secondary Standard) Pyranometer...
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. SR20-T2 ISO Spectrally Flat Class A (Secondary Standard) Pyranometer...
4. Secure the mounting bracket to the crossarm or vertical pole using the hardware included with the mounting bracket. The CM255 uses one U-bolt, nuts, flat washers, and lock washers to mount the bracket, as shown in the following figure. SR20-T2 ISO Spectrally Flat Class A (Secondary Standard) Pyranometer...

5. For pyranometers mounted horizontally, ensure the mounting bracket is horizontal in two dimensions. For pyranometers mounted at an angle, set the mounting bracket angle to the desired angle prior to tightening the mounting hardware.

8. Maintenance and troubleshooting The SR20-T2 has no service items requiring scheduled replacement. There is no accessible desiccant cartridge to maintain. Use pure alcohol or distilled water and a lint-free cloth to clean the dome, removing smears and deposits. Local conditions and application dictate cleaning interval.
