Data is accessible through Modbus’s functions by 16 bits units called “registers”. In the current implementation of PYRA-485 these registers are available:

Register hex Register dec Description Access NV save
0x0101 257 Current irradiance level [W/m2] R
0x8802 34818 Current body temperature [°C], 2-complent value, fixed point 14.2 format (14 bits integer, 2 bits fractional) R
0x0103 259 Status, bit coded R
Bit Description
0 Factory calibration/configuration 1 = OK; 0 = need recalibration
1 Not volatile parameters

1 = OK; 0 = default loaded, need to be changed/saved

2 Not used
3 Not used
4 Not used
5 Watchdog

1 = reset by watchdog timeout occurred; 0 = normal operation

all undefined bits read as 0

CALIBRATION

It is recommended to send to factory for verifying calibration after 2 years of outdoor work

MAINTENANCE

Reading is reduced if the dome is not clean.

  1.  Keep the dome clean using water or alcohol.
  2. Keep instrument levelled.
  3. Recalibrate every 2 years.

INSTALLATION

It is recommended to install the product at a minimum height of 180cm above the ground.
INSTALLATION diagram

There are the following fixing types:

  • With M5 screw on flat bases;
  • Bracket on pole;
  • Inclinable bracket in degrees

fixing diagrqam
M5 screw on flat bases *screw’s thread must be 0,4cm + distance between the pyranometer and the base. (approx. 1,5 – 1,8 cm long.)
