Page 3: Introduction
INTRODUCTION LPPYRA12 pyranometer measures the irradiance on a flat surface (W/m ). Thanks to the shadow-ring, LPPYRA12 measures the diffuse solar radiation eliminating the con- tribution of direct irradiance. LPPYRA12 is equipped with a Spectrally Flat Class B (First Class) pyranometer (LPPY- RA02) in accordance with ISO 9060:2018 and with the criteria of the WMO “Guide to Meteorological Instruments and Methods of Observation”. -
Page 4: Working Principle
2 WORKING PRINCIPLE LPPYRA12 pyranometer is based on a thermopile sensor. The thermopile sensitive sur- face is coated with a black matt paint, which allows the pyranometer not to be selec- tive at different wavelengths. The pyranometer spectral range is determined by the transmission of the two glass domes type K5. -
Page 5: Installation
3 INSTALLATION Before installing the pyranometer, refill the cartridge containing silica-gel crystals. Sil- ica gel absorbs humidity in the dome chamber and prevents, in particular climatic conditions, condensation on the internal walls of the domes and measurement altera- tion. Do not touch the silica gel crystals with your hands while refilling the cartridge. Carry out the following instructions in an environment as drier as possible: 1. -
Page 6: Mounting The Shadow Ring
• The pyranometer must be mounted in an easy-to-reach location in order to clean the dome regularly and adjust the height of the shadow ring. At the same time, make sure that no buildings, constructions, trees or obstructions exceed the hori- zontal plane where the pyranometer lies. -
Page 7: Positioning The Instrument For The Diffuse Radiation Measurement
3.2 P OSITIONING THE INSTRUMENT FOR THE DIFFUSE RADIATION MEASUREMENT The shadow ring particular geometry allows intercepting the solar direct radiation dur- ing the whole day without adjustments. The base of the instrument has to be mounted parallel to the ground by adjusting the screw with ring nut and with the aid of the levelling device integrated in the instrument. - Page 8 Adjusting the shadow ring tilt: 1. Check that the sliding bars and the long side of the pyranometer support be parallel (instruments are supplied factory aligned). 2. Mount and fix the pyranometer to the goniometer. 3. Position the goniometer in such a way to read on its scale the latitude of the instal- lation site.

6 RS485 MODBUS-RTU OUTPUT Before connecting the pyranometer to the RS485 network, an address must be assigned and the communication parameters must be set, if different from the factory preset. 6.1 S ETTING THE COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS Connect the pyranometer to the PC in one of the following two ways: A. - Page 17 4. Wait until the pyranometer transmits the & character, then send (within 10 sec- onds from the pyranometer power on) the @ command and press Enter. Note: if the pyranometer does not receive the @ command within 10 seconds from power on, the RS485 MODBUS mode is automatically activated.

Page 23: Measurement Correction
8 MEASUREMENT CORRECTION Diffuse radiation is measured by eliminating the contribution of direct radiation through the shadow ring. As besides the direct radiation the shadow ring intercepts part of the diffuse light, it is necessary to correct the measured values. The percentage of diffuse radiation intercepted by the shadow ring changes during the year, because the position that the ring has with respect to the pyranometer changes. - Page 24 TABLE 2 Correction factor C for installation in the Northern hamisphere.

Page 26: Maintenance
9 MAINTENANCE In order to grant measurements high accuracy, it is important to keep the outer glass dome clean. Consequently, the more the dome will be kept clean, the more measure- ments will be accurate. You can wash it using water and standard papers for lens. If necessary, use pure ETHYL alcohol. -
