Electric insulation PID01

for pyranometers

Insulation disk for Hukseflux pyranometer models SR300, SR30, SR200, SR20, SR100 and SR15 PID01 electrically isolates pyranometers from their metal mounting platform. Isolation may be useful when the mounting platform does not permit connection of the pyranometer earth ground terminal to the same ground point as the SPD01 or the SCADA system. PID01 also includes spring-loaded fixation for easy pyranometer levelling. Hukseflux offers an optional pyranometer insulation disc, PID01. Its purpose is to insulate the pyranometer from the – typically metal – mounting platform. This allows users of Hukseflux industrial pyranometers to use the earthing terminal on the industrial pyranometer to electrically connect the instrument to another ground point. Using the PID01 disc is the user’s own decision, and part of the design of the larger earthing and grounding network, leading to a safe workplace, reliable instrument operation and immunity to surges. PID01 is compatible with industrial pyranometer models SR300-D1, SR200-D1, SR100-D1 and also with earlier pyranometer models SR30, SR20 and SR15. The insulation disc is spring-loaded. Once the pyranometer is connected and locked to the disc, the pyranometer can easily be levelled. Levelling is done by turning the two adjustable levelling feet of the pyranometer by hand, using the pyranometer bubble level as a reference. For more details on the installation: consult the PID01 installation guide as well as the user manual of your pyranometer.
