A89WS-MP1: PV Mounting Bracket – Pyranometer (Optional)
Kit contains: bracket with thumbscrews.
The A89WS-MP1 mounting bracket allows the pyranometer to be mounted on the side
of a solar panel or other flat object. This provides the pyranometer the same angle to
the sun as the panel for measuring performance of a system.
Note: the pyranometer is not included with this bracket. The A89WS-PY1 kit is
required to use this bracket.
Attach the pyranometer to the mounting base. Align the wire on the pyranometer to
the slot on the mounting base before inserting it in the base. A small hex set-screw is
located on the side on the mounting base to secure the pyranometer. Use the Allen
wrench provided to tighten the set screw until the pyranometer is secure. Do not over-
tighten the set screw or it will crack the pyranometer.
Attach the pyranometer base plate to the top of the A89WS-MP1 mounting bracket as
shown to the left. Place the three mounting bolts in the holes, and tighten the
attachment bolts and nuts to secure the pyranometer in place flush against the bracket.
The leveling screws and bubble level are not used with this mounting bracket.
Bring the black cable around to the control box. Plug the cable into the connector
labeled "pyranometer"
Important: Locate the serial number on the pyranometer.
Write this number down ----> ______________________
The serial number will be required later for calibration purposes.
The pyranometer kit includes a calibration certificate. Do NOT DISCARD THE
CALIBRATION CERTIFICATE. Take time to verify the serial number printed on
the calibration certificate matches the one on the pyranometer sensor.
