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.
1. Open Short Cut and click Create New Program. 2. Double-click the data logger model. 3. In the Available Sensors and Devices box, type SR30. You can also locate the sensor in the Sensors > Meteorological > Solar Radiation folder. Double click the sensor model. Type the RS-485 address;...

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.
Operating temperature range: –40 to 80 °C Temperature response: < ±0.4 % (–30 to 50 °C) Operating voltage range: 8 to 30 VDC Tilt measurement uncertainty: ±1° (0 to 90 °) SR30 ISO Spectrally Flat Class A (Secondary Standard) Pyranometer...

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.
3. Using a diopter in combination with a solar compass, install and orient the crossarm on the tripod or the mast. If installing the mounting bracket on a vertical pole, ensure the pole is truly vertical. SR30 ISO Spectrally Flat Class A (Secondary Standard) Pyranometer...
Modbus networks. 7.2 Modbus map Table 7-1 (p. 10) provides the Modbus register map for the most commonly used values. A comprehensive register map is available in the Hukseflux manual. SR30 ISO Spectrally Flat Class A (Secondary Standard) Pyranometer...
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.
