1. Setup
The installation base or mast should have enough load capacity for the instrument to be mounted.
Fix the pyranometer securely to the base or mast with bolts and nuts; otherwise, the instrument
may drop due to gale or earthquake which may lead to unexpected accidents.
Make sure the instrument and the cables are installed in a location where they will not get soaked.

Be careful when handling the ventilation unit during operation. Fingers or clothing may get caught into the
ventilation fan, which can lead to serious injuries.
3-2. HIGH VOLTAGE WARNING
Power Supply (for the models with ventilation unit)
For AC versions of the ventilation units make sure to ground the earth wire of the power cable.
When the power supply is not grounded, it may cause noise on the data and lead to measurement
errors. Furthermore, grounding the earth wire will prevent electric shocks and current leakage.
Make sure to check the power supply voltage and type (AC/DC) before connecting the fan unit to
the power supply. Connecting the fan unit to other power supplies than specified will lead to
damage and accidents.
