CS300 Pyranometer

1. Introduction

The CS300, manufactured by Apogee Instruments, measures total sun and sky
solar radiation for solar, agricultural, meteorological, and hydrological
applications. Its spectral range of 360 to 1120 nanometers encompasses most
of the shortwave radiation that reaches the Earth’s surface. This pyranometer
connects directly to our dataloggers. Its output can be measured by all of our
dataloggers.

2. Cautionary Statements

• READ AND UNDERSTAND the Precautions section at the front of this

manual.

• Care should be taken when opening the shipping package to not damage or

cut the cable jacket. If damage to the cable is suspected, consult with a
Campbell Scientific applications engineer.

• Remove the green cap after installing the sensor. Save this cap for

shipping or storing the sensor.

• Handle the sensor carefully when cleaning. Be careful not to scratch the

surface of the sensor.

3. Initial Inspection

• Upon receipt of the CS300, inspect the packaging and contents for

damage. File damage claims with the shipping company.

4. Quickstart

Short Cut is an easy way to program your datalogger to measure the CS106 and
assign datalogger wiring terminals. Use the following procedure to get started.

1. Install Short Cut by clicking on the install file icon. Get the install file

from either www.campbellsci.com, the ResourceDVD, or find it in
installations of LoggerNet, PC200W, PC400, or RTDAQ software.

2. The Short Cut installation should place a Short Cut icon on the desktop of

your computer. To open Short Cut, click on this icon.

3. When Short Cut opens, select New Program.

4. Select Datalogger Model and Scan Interval (default of 5 seconds is OK

for most applications). Click Next.

2

CS300 Pyranometer

5. Under the Available Sensors and Devices list, select Sensors |

Meteorological | Solar Radiation folder. Select CS300 Pyranometer.

Click to move the selection to the Selected device window. Default
units are kW/m

2

for flux density units and mJ/ m2 for total flux. These can
be changed by clicking the Flux Density and Total Flux boxes and
selecting different values.

6. After selecting the sensor, click at the left of the screen on Wiring

Diagram to see how the sensor is to be wired to the datalogger. The
wiring diagram can be printed out now or after more sensors are added.

5. Overview

7. Select any other sensors you have, then finish the remaining Short Cut

steps to complete the program. The remaining steps are outlined in Short

Cut Help, which is accessed by clicking on Help | Contents |
Programming Steps.

8. If LoggerNet, PC400, RTDAQ, or PC200W is running on your PC, and the

PC to datalogger connection is active, you can click Finish in Short Cut
and you will be prompted to send the program just created to the
datalogger.

9. If the sensor is connected to the datalogger, as shown in the wiring

diagram in step 6, check the output of the sensor in the datalogger support
software data display to make sure it is making reasonable measurements.

The CS300 measures incoming solar radiation with a silicon photovoltaic
detector mounted in a cosine-corrected head. Output from the detector is a
current, which is converted to voltage by a potentiometer potted in the sensor
head. The resistance of the potentiometer is adjusted when the sensor is
calibrated so that all sensors have the same output sensitivity.

The CS300 is calibrated against a Kipp and Zonen CM21 under natural
sunlight to accurately measure sun plus sky radiation (360 to 1120 nm). The
CS300 should not be used under vegetation or artificial lights.

During the night, the CS300 may read slightly negative incoming solar
radiation. This negative signal is caused by RF noise passing through the
photo-diode. Negative values may be set to zero in the datalogger program.

For more theoretical information on the silicon photovoltaic detector see Kerr,

The black outer jacket of the cable is Santoprene® rubber. This
compound was chosen for its resistance to temperature extremes,
moisture, and UV degradation. However, this jacket will support
combustion in air. It is rated as slow burning when tested
according to U.L. 94 H.B. and will pass FMVSS302. Local fire
codes may preclude its use inside buildings.

If you are programming your datalogger with Short Cut, skip Section 7.3,
Wiring to the Datalogger, and Section 7.4, Programming. Short Cut does this
work for you. See Section 4, Quickstart, for a Short Cut tutorial.

7.1 Siting

The CS300 should be mounted such that it is never shaded by the tripod/tower
or other sensors. The sensor should be mounted with the cable pointing
towards the nearest magnetic pole. For example, in the Northern Hemisphere,
point the cable toward the North Pole.

Mounting height is not critical for the accuracy of the measurement. However,
pyranometers mounted at heights of 3 m or less are easier to level and clean.

7.4 Programming

Short Cut is the best source for up-to-date datalogger programming code.
Programming code is needed,

If your data acquisition requirements are simple, you can probably create and
maintain a datalogger program exclusively with Short Cut. If your data
acquisition needs are more complex, the files that Short Cut creates are a great
source for programming code to start a new program or add to an existing
custom program.

A Short Cut tutorial is available in Section 4, Quickstart. If you wish to import
Short Cut code into either Edlog or CRBasic Editor to create or add to a
customized program, follow the procedure in Appendix A, Importing Short Cut
Code Into CRBasic or Edlog Editor. Programming basics for CRBasic and
Edlog dataloggers are provided below. Complete program examples for select
dataloggers can be found in Appendix B, Example Programs.

The output from the CS300 is 0.2 mV per Wm

. The voltage signal from the
CS300 is measured using the single-ended voltage instruction (VoltSE in
CRBasic or Volt (SE) (P1) in Edlog). Dataloggers that use CRBasic include
the CR200(X), CR800, CR850, CR1000, CR3000, CR5000, and CR9000(X).
Dataloggers that use Edlog include CR7, CR10(X), CR510, and CR23X.

Nearby AC power lines, electric pumps, or motors can be a source of electrical
noise. If the sensor or datalogger is located in an electrically noisy
environment, the measurement should be made with the 60 or 50 Hz rejection
integration option as shown in the example programs.

7.4.1 Total Solar Radiation

If solar radiation is totalized in units of kJ m–2, there is a possibility of
overranging the output limits. For CRBasic dataloggers, you can avoid this by
using the IEEE4 or long data format. With the Edlog dataloggers the largest
number that the datalogger can output to final storage is 6999 in low resolution
(default), and 99999 in high resolution.

CS300 Pyranometer

For Edlog dataloggers, if you assume that the daily total flux is desired in kJ m

2

and assume an irradiance of 0.5 kW m–2, the maximum low resolution output
limit will be exceeded in just under four hours. This value was found by taking
the maximum flux the datalogger can record in low resolution and dividing by
the total hourly flux.

(1)

To circumvent this limitation for Edlog dataloggers, record an average flux.
Then, during post processing, multiply the average flux by the number of
seconds in the output interval to arrive at an output interval flux. Sum the
output interval totals over a day to find a daily total flux.

Another alternative for Edlog dataloggers is to record total flux using the high
resolution format. Instruction 78 is used to switch to the high resolution. The
disadvantage of the high resolution format is that it takes more memory per
data point.

CS300 Pyranometer

CAUTION

NOTE

8. Maintenance and Calibration

On a monthly basis the level of the pyranometer should be checked. Any dust
or debris on the sensor head should be removed. The debris can be removed
with a blast of compressed air or with a soft bristle, camel hair brush.

Handle the sensor carefully when cleaning. Be careful not
to scratch the surface of the sensor.

Recalibrate the CS300 every three years. Obtain an RMA number before
returning the CS300 to Campbell Scientific, Inc. for recalibration.

9. Troubleshooting

Symptom: –9999 or radiation values around 0

1. Check that the sensor is wired to the single-ended channel specified by the
measurement instruction.

2. Verify that the range code is correct for the datalogger type.

3. Disconnect the sensor leads from the datalogger and use a DVM to check
the voltage between the red (+) and the black (–) wires. The voltage
should be 0 to 200 mV for 0 to 1000 Wm
indicates a problem with either the photodiode or the shunt resistor, both
of which are potted in the sensor head and cannot be serviced.

Symptom: Incorrect solar radiation

1. Make sure the top surface of the sensor head is clean, and that the sensor
is properly leveled.

2. Verify that the range code, multiplier and offset parameters are correct for
the desired engineering units and datalogger type.

Jumps of 3 to 6 Wm–2 are typical of CR200(X) measurements, due
to the 0.6 mV CR200(X) resolution and the 0.2 mV/Wm–2 CS300
sensitivity.

Appendix A. Importing Short Cut Code Into CRBasic or Edlog Editor

This tutorial shows:

• How to import a Short Cut program into a program editor for

additional refinement

• How to import a wiring diagram from Short Cut into the comments of

a custom program

A.1 Importing Short Cut Code into a Program Editor

Short Cut creates files that can be imported into either CRBasic Editor or
Edlog program editor. These files normally reside in the

C:\campbellsci\SCWin folder and have the following extensions:

• .DEF (wiring and memory usage information)

• .CR2 (CR200(X) datalogger code)

• .CR1 (CR1000 datalogger code)

• .CR8 (CR800 datalogger code)

• .CR3 (CR3000 datalogger code)

• .CR5 (CR5000 datalogger code)

• .CR9 (CR9000(X) datalogger code)

• .DLD (contain code for CR10(X), CR23X, CR500, CR510, 21X, or

CR7(X) dataloggers)

The following procedures show how to import these files for editing.

A.1.1 CRBasic Datalogger

Use the following procedure to import Short Cut code into CRBasic Editor
(CR200(X), CR1000, CR800, CR3000, CR5000 dataloggers).

1. Create the Short Cut program following the procedure in Section 4,
Quickstart. Finish the program and exit Short Cut. Make note of the file
name used when saving the Short Cut program.

2. Open CRBasic Editor.

3. Click File | Open. Assuming the default paths were used when Short Cut
was installed, navigate to C:\CampbellSci\SCWin folder. The file of
interest has a “.CR2”, “.CR1”, “.CR8”, “.CR3”, “.CR5”, or “.CR9”
extension, for CR200(X), CR1000, CR800, CR3000, CR5000, or
CR9000(X) dataloggers, respectively. Select the file and click Open.

4. Immediately save the file in a folder different from \Campbellsci\SCWin,
or save the file with a different file name.

A-1

Appendix A. Importing Short Cut Code Into CRBasic or Edlog Editor

NOTE
NOTE

Once the file is edited with CRBasic Editor, Short Cut can no
longer be used to edit the datalogger program. Change the name
of the program file or move it, or Short Cut may overwrite it next
time it is used.

5. The program can now be edited, saved, and sent to the datalogger.

6. Import wiring information to the program by opening the associated .DEF
file. Copy and paste the section beginning with heading “-Wiring for
CRXXX–” into the CRBasic program, usually at the head of the file.
After pasting, edit the information such that a ' character (single quotation
mark) begins each line. This character instructs the datalogger compiler to
ignore the line when compiling the datalogger code.

A.1.2 Edlog

Use the following procedure to import Short Cut code into the Edlog program
editor (CR10(X), CR500, CR510, CR23X, CR7, or 21X dataloggers).

1. Create the Short Cut program following the procedure in Section 4,
Quickstart. Finish the program and exit Short Cut. Make note of the file
name used when saving the Short Cut program.

2. Open Edlog.

3. Click File | Document DLD File. Assuming the default paths were used
when Short Cut was installed, navigate to C:\CampbellSci\SCWin folder.
The file of interest has a “.DLD” extension. Select the file and click
Open. The .dld file, which is a type of ASCII machine code, is imported,
documented, and, when saved, given a “.CSI” extension.

4. Immediately save the file in a folder different from \Campbellsci\SCWin,
or save the file with a different file name.

Once the file is edited with Edlog, Short Cut can no longer be used
to edit the program. Change the name of the program file or move
it, or Short Cut may overwrite it.

5. The program can now be edited, saved, and sent to the datalogger.

6. Import wiring information to the program by opening the associated .DEF
file. Copy and paste the section beginning with heading “-Wiring for
CRXXX–” into the Edlog program, usually at the head of the file. After
pasting, edit the information such that a ; (semicolon) begins each line,
which instructs the datalogger compiler to ignore the line when compiling
the datalogger code.
