7.3.4 Sensors with Rain Gauge
Installation on the top of the mast or on crossbar with distance to the mast
Mast or crossbar mounting shall be exactly perpendicular, otherwise the precision of the
rain gauge may be influenced.
Note: The location should be selected so that pollution of the rain gauge funnel by falling
leaves etc. can be avoided as far as possible.
7.3.5 Sensors with Global Radiation Measurement
Installation on top of the pole
Shadow free location, if possible 360° free view to the horizon at the height of the
pyranometer
Distance to shadow casting objects (trees, buildings) at least 10 times of the object height
relative to the sensor.
