Overview
The CM255 is used for most applications that require mounting a solar sensor at adjustable angles. The CM255 includes slots that can be adjusted to any angle from horizontal to vertical. The mounting stand is designed to work with masts, crossarms, or poles that have a 2.5 to 3.8 cm (1.0 to 1.5 in.) outer diameter. It is not designed for applications using a rotating shadowband radiometer (RSR).
Note: In the image the CM255 is shown with a mounting pole (sold separately).
