  • Page 3: Introduction

    The MS-80 features a compact design with internal desiccation, single dome, isolated thermopile detector, quartz diffusor, immunity to offsets, ultra-low temperature dependency, and exceptional non-linearity characteristics.
  • Page 4 3. In the Available Sensors and Devices box, type MS-80 or locate the sensor in the Sensors > Meteorological > Solar Radiation folder. Double-click the MS-80 (Pt100 temp) Secondary Standard Pyranometer. Type the Sensitivity (uV/W/m^2) from calibration sheet. This value is unique for each MS-80.
  • Page 5 4. Click the Wiring tab to see how the sensor is to be wired to the data logger and 3WHB10K; a completion resistor such as the 3WHB10K is required to connect the MS-80 to a data logger. Click OK after wiring the sensor.
  • Page 6 9. If the sensor is connected to the data logger, check the output of the sensor in the data logger support software data display in LoggerNet, PC400, RTDAQ, or PC200W to make sure it is making reasonable measurements. MS-80 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. MS-80 Secondary Standard Pyranometer...
  • Page 9 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. MS-80 Secondary Standard Pyranometer...

    6. Verify mounting hardware is firmly tightened, and that the mounting bracket is at the desired angle. 6. MS-80 wiring The MS-80 requires a completion resistor such as the 3WHB10K to measure the internal PT100 sensor. Table 6-1 (p. 8) shows the wiring to the data logger and 3WHB10K.

    Eastern Hemisphere and areas that operate at 50 Hz. The multiplier converts the millivolt reading to engineering units. Table 7-1 (p. 10) provides the calculations required for the various units. The offset will normally be fixed at zero (see MS-80 example program (p. 13)). MS-80 Secondary Standard Pyranometer...

    9. Maintenance and troubleshooting The MS-80 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.
  • Page 13 The recommended recalibration interval is two years. Contact Campbell Scientific for more information. Unexpected results typically occur because of improper wiring or programming, electromagnetic radiation, or damaged cables. Ensure that the data logger program includes the correct parameters for the measurement instructions. Check for the presence of strong sources of electromagnetic radiation and use the 50 or 60 Hz integration option in the data logger program if electromagnetic radiation can be a problem.

    Block. This adds an apostrophe (') to the beginning of each of the highlighted lines, which instructs the data logger compiler to ignore those lines when compiling. The Comment Block feature is demonstrated at about 5:10 in the CRBasic | Features video MS-80 Secondary Standard Pyranometer...

  • Page 15: Appendix B. Ms-80 Example Program

    Table B-1 (p. 13) provides wiring for the example program. The MS-80 requires a completion resistor such as the 3WHB10K to connect to the data logger. Although this program is for the CR1000X, other CRBasic data loggers are programmed similarly.
