Voltage or Current outputs are also included for devices that have high-level analogue inputs or current loop interfaces. The SUV5 is available in two versions. One has an analogue voltage output of 0 to 1 V, the other has an analogue current output of 4 to 20 mA.
1.1.2 Spectral response of SUV5 radiometer The accuracy of the SUV5 radiometers is mainly determined by the properties of the band pass filter. The figure below shows the spectral response of a SUV5 on a logarithmic scale. A linear plot of the SUV5 relative spectral response attached to the calibration certificate.

The SUV5 can be delivered with a waterproof plug pre-wired to a high quality signal cable, typically this is 10 m long but other lengths are available. The instruments can also be ordered without a cable or with a plug only, for the user to fit their own cable.
Radiometer fixing kit; 2 each of stainless steel M5 x 80 mm screw, nut, flat washer, nylon insulation ring 2.2 Tools required The tools required to fi an SUV5 radioometer to a support are a 4 mm (M5 socket head screw) Allen key and a 8 mm (M5 nut) wrench / spanner.
2.4.2 Mounting The SUV5 radiometer is provided with two holes for 5 mm bolts. Two nylon insulation rings and two each of stainless steel bolts, washers and nuts are provided in the fixing kit. The radiometer should first be secured lightly with the bolts to a solid and stable mounting stand or platform as shown below.
2.5 Electrical connections The SUV5 radiometers uses an 8-wire cable with pre-wired waterproof connector. Cables are available at di erent lenghts. The colour code of the wires and the connector pin numbers are shown below and on the instruction sheet.
2.5.1 Power connection The minimum power supply voltage for SUV5 radiometers is 5 VDC. However, for optimal performance it is advised to use 12 VDC, especially when long cables are used. 5-volt power can only be used in combination with a short cable, maximum 10 m.
The connection depends on the use of a RS-485 to USB converter. The converter must have galvanic isolation between the inputs and outputs to prevent possible damage to the SUV5 digital interface. This is particularly an issue with portable computers (laptops, etc.) in which the power supplies can generate large voltage spikes.
The slaves may be a SUV5 radiometer or any other Modbus® devices. If a SUV5 radiometer is the last device on the network a line terminator (LT), consisting of a 120 Ω or 150 Ω resistor, must be connected between terminals A/A'/- and B/B'/+. Never place this line termination on the derivation cable.

4. SmartExplorer software and Modbus communication ® The SmartExplorer software allows you to configure a smart sensor and to collect real-time data. SmartExplorer runs on a PC with Windows Vista, 7 or 8 and when installing downloads the .NET 4.5 frame work from the Microsoft Server. When using the software on site, make sure the software is already installed on your laptop.
5.2 Key parts of the SUV5 radiometer The detector of the SUV5 is a photo diode with a white di usor on top. This is covered with a glass dome to protect it. The dome is made of a special glass type that transmits su cient UV light in the UV-A/UV-B range. The photo diode is read by the Smart interface as well as its temperature.
For ease of maintenance the bubble level of the SUV5 is visible from above without removing the snap-on white sun shield. The sun shield acts to protect all the external parts and to reduce solar heating of the housing.
6. Maintenance and recalibration SUV5 radiometers are simple to maintain and do not require any special tools or training. There are no service items requiring scheduled replacement. 6.1 Daily maintenance Depending upon the weather conditions dew, glazed frost or hoar frost can be precipitated on the top of the dome and can stay there for several hours in the morning.

A: With longer cable lengths the impedance increases, however it does not a ect the radiometer sensitivity for the following reason. For the SUV5-V the impedance of the voltage measurement device is at least 1000 times more than the impedance of the radiometer plus cable.

Write multiple Registers The SUV5 does not make a di erence between a ‘coil’ and a discrete input. The only di erence is that a discrete input is read only. The SUV5 does not make a di erence between a holding register and an input register. The only di erence is that an input register is read only.

The IO_VOID_DATA_FLAG and bit 0 of the IO_STATUS_FLAGS are cleared when the IO_VOID_DATA_FLAG is read by the computer. Discrete input 3 IO_OVERFLOW_ERROR This discrete input is raised when an out of range condition occurs and the sensor data (see IO_SENSOR1_DATA) is above the maximum value specified by the calibration program or above 29,999.
If IO_AUTO_RANGE is set then the sensor is not calibrated and could produce more digits, than there are significant digits. Coil 22 IO_FASTRESPONSE Setting this coil enables the fast response filter. This filter increases the step response of the sensor. The default value for SUV5 radiometers is OFF.
Coil 23 IO_TRACKING_FILTER Setting to this coil enables the tracking filter. The tracking filter reduces the noise of the signal. However, when the filter is on, the step response on a sudden signal change is decreased. The smart sensor uses variable filter constants to minimize the e ect on the step response.
A.11 Simple demonstration program The simple ‘C’ program below will show how to read the sensor data and how to deal with errors. The program will read the registers: ‘operational mode, status flags, scale factor, and sensor data’ from Modbus® device with address 2 into registers uOperationMode, uStatusFlags, iScaleFactor and iSensorData.
For the SUV5 radiometers the physical sensitivities are converted to a digital and analogue output that is identical for all sensors. The SUV5-V versions all have an analogue output of 0 to 1 Volt for -100 to 400 W/m². The SUV5-A outputs are 4 to 20 mA for 0 to 400 W/m².
The maximum irradiance is defined as the total irradiance level beyond which the output is no longer linear and out of specifications. The analogue output for the SUV5 is set to 400 W/m², which is su cient under normal atmospheric conditions.
