  • Page 6: Introduction

    The SR30, an ISO 9060:2018 spectrally flat Class A (secondary standard) pyranometer manufactured by Hukseflux, features recirculating ventilation and heating (RVH™) technology. As a standalone unit, the SR30 is fully compliant with IEC 61724-1 standards, whereas other pyranometers require external ventilation/heating units to be compliant. The SR30 is an ideal instrument for solar resource and photovoltaic (PV) performance monitoring.

    4. Overview The SR30 measures solar radiation with a high-quality blackened thermopile protected by two glass domes. It has an anodized aluminum body and a white sun shield that reduces the sensor temperature. The glass domes are heated by ventilating the area between the inner and outer dome using recirculating ventilation and heating (RVH™) technology.

    6.2 Programming Short Cut is the best source for up-to-date programming code for Campbell Scientific data loggers. If your data acquisition requirements are simple, you can probably create and maintain a data logger program exclusively with Short Cut. If your data acquisition needs are more complex, the files that Short Cut creates are a great source for programming code to start a new program or add to an existing custom program.

    8. Maintenance and troubleshooting The SR30 has no service items that require 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 a cleaning interval.
