Crossarm mounting fixture
We offer a full range of practical brackets for mounting atmospheric radiation sensors in all climates and weather conditions. CMF01 is a versatile fixture allowing mounting a crossarm onto a vertical mast. It is used with SR300-D1, SR200-D1, SR100-D1, SR30-M2-D1, SR15 series and SR05 pyranometers with their mounting fixtures. It can also be used with NR01 net radiometers, SRA series albedometers, and with PMF01.

A practical mounting fixture
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 the radiometer and the mast, so that the mast does not cast a shadow and does not reflect radiation onto the instrument. A typical distance between the radiometer and the mast 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).
CMF01 design
CMF01 is made of high-quality metals, allowing installations in all climates and weather conditions. It is delivered with U-bolts and tube clamps. The user should provide his own crossarm and instrument(s). The latter can be ordered separately at Hukx.
Complementary mounting options
There are other Hukx mounting options available for SR300-D1, SR200-D1, SR100-D1, SR30-M2-D1, SR15 series and SR05 pyranometers. They allow for simplified mounting, leveling, 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 Hukx pyranometer on a mast, crossarm or other mounting platform.
