Product catalog summary
Overview: The CM 121 Shadow Ring is designed for measuring diffuse radiation and is compatible with various Kipp & Zonen instruments, including CMP/SMP series pyranometers, CGR pyrgeometers, and CUV 5 UV radiometers. It is suitable for use at all latitudes and surfaces oriented in the tilted North-South plane.
Specifications: The shadow ring has a view angle of 10.6° and a width/diameter ratio of 0.185. It does not require power and is available in two versions: CM 121B for unventilated radiometers and CM 121C for ventilated instruments. The ring's dimensions include a maximum diameter of 620 mm and a height of 340 mm.
Installation and Usage: The radiometer is mounted on a pedestal, and the ring is adjusted for location and sun declination to ensure accurate shading throughout the day. Regular adjustments are necessary to maintain shading accuracy due to changes in the solar arc.
Additional Information: A table is provided to compensate for the part of the diffuse sky intersected by the ring. The measuring radiometer is not included and must be purchased separately. Kipp & Zonen reserves the right to alter specifications without prior notice.

CM 121 Shadow Ring for the measurement of diuse radiation Suitable for all latitudes and surfaces in the tilted North-South plane Compatible with all CMP/SMP series pyranometers, CGR pyrgeometers and CUV 5 UV radiometer View angle of 10.6 ° CM 121 is a shadow ring that does not require power and can be used with all the Kipp & Zonen CMP, SMP, CGR and CUV series of instruments. It is used for measurements of the diuse sky radiation or to shade a pyrgeometer from the direct solar radiation. CM 121B is for unventilated radiometers and CM 121C is for ventilated instruments. The radiometer is installed on the mounting pedestal and after levelling and correct adjustment for the location and the sun declination the ring makes a shadow on the radiometer dome throughout the day. To maintain the shading accuracy it is necessary to adjust the position of the ring every few days to compensate for changes in the solar arc.

The ring has a width / diameter ratio of 0.185 and has a view of 10.6° seen from the radiometer. Because the ring intersects a part of the diffuse sky, a table is supplied to compensate the measured values. A measuring radiometer is not included, and must be ordered separately.
