CMF01 mounting fixture
CMF01
| Mast compatibility | diameter (40 to 65) x 10⁻³ |
| Crossarm compatibility | 1 inch pipe length < 1.5 m |
| Maximum weight of CMF01 (at length of 1.5 m) | 2.5 kg |
There are other Hukseflux mounting options available for SR30, SR15 and SR05 pyranometers. They allow for simplified mounting, levelling and instrument exchange on a flat surface or a tube, such as a crossarm. These mounts are optional with the purchase of these instruments. Alternatively, PMF01 and PMF02 brackets may be used for mounting any Hukseflux pyranometer on a mast, crossarm or other mounting platform.

CMF01 is a practical mounting fixture for mounting a crossarm. The purpose of the crossarm is to mount radiometers on a mast. The crossarm may serve to mount multiple instruments. The crossarm also creates some distance between radiometer and mast, so that the mast does not case a shadow and does not reflect radiation onto the instrument. A typical disctance between mast and radiometer is 1.5 m.
Most crossarms used in radiometry are mounted in the north-south direction so that the radiometer can be mounted towards the equator and a mast extending above the crossarm does not cast a shadow on the instrument.
In PV monitoring we also see crossarms oriented in the east-west direction to mount instruments for Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI), Plane of Array Irradiance (POA) and Reflected Horizontal Irradiance (RHI)
Suggested use
- PV system performance monitoring
- scientific meteorological observations
