Page 10: Introduction
- Reduce the zero offset of the radiometer. The CVF4 is meant for all CM, CMP, SMP, CG, CGR and CUV radiometers. However with the CMP 3 and SMP3 and CGR 3 the ventilation effect will be less due to the larger opening around the dome. The CVF4 is meant to run continuously. The heater can either be switched on permanently for cold regions or be switched by a data logger or clock to remove dew in the morning and be switched off... -

2.2 Tools required If the CVF4 is mounted with the supplied screws only the supplied Allan key is required. Make sure there is space to fasten the screw under the bottom of the plate. To fasten the radiometers other Allan keys or screwdrivers may be necessary. -
Page 13: Installation Procedure
2.4 Installation procedure First the CVF4 is screwed flat on its mounting plate. In case the CVF4 is mounted on a solar tracker, the tracker has to be levelled first. On our sun trackers the CVF4 is positioned such that the fan sticks out over the edge of the plate. This ensures the air inlet is never blocked (see picture of the CVF4 on the SOLYS 2 Sun Tracker on the next page). - Page 14 Then the radiometer is mounted in the CVF4 and levelled with its own levelling feet. Afterwards the radiometer mounting screws and shoulder washers are fitted (not secured yet). In case the CVF4 is mounted on a solar tracker, finish the alignment of the tracker first before securing the radiometer screws because tracker (and radiometer) levelling might need re-adjustment.

4. Maintenance Regular inspection of the CVF4 is advised. Depending on the location (air pollution) this can be monthly or yearly. When on site for inspection of other instruments it is advised to check the CVF4 filter. At the same time radiometer levelling and desiccant can be checked. For access to the desiccant the 2 mounting nuts have to be loosened and the top cover taken off. - Page 21 Instruction Manual - CVF4...
