The 019ALU Crossarm connects to the tripod
top post for mounting sensors such as
pyranometers and wind sensors. The 015
Pyranometer Mounting Arm is used for
mounting a pyranometer when both ends of the
019ALU Crossarm are used for other sensors.
The 025 Pyranometer Crossarm Stand is the
alternative pyranometer mount when only one
end of the 019ALU Crossarm is being used for
other sensors.
The 12 Plate 41004-5 and 41002-2 and the 6
Plate 41301-5 Gill Radiation Shields are
housings for temperature and relative humidity
sensors. The naturally ventilated shields
eliminate radiation loading of the sensors. The

CM10 AND CM6 TRIPOD
size of the sensor determines whether a 12 plate
or 6 plate shield is required.
The rain gauge is usually placed away from the
tripod on a separate post or pipe, which is not
provided.
