4. Overview
The CM106B (FIGURE
) is constructed from galvanized steel, with
individually adjustable legs that allow installation over uneven terrain.
The CM106B includes lightning and ground rods, ground cables, UV resistant
cable ties, and stakes for securing the tripod feet to the ground. An optional guy
kit is recommended for sites that experience high wind speeds (see Section
). Instrument enclosures can be purchased with mounting
brackets that attach to either the mast or leg section as shown in Section
(p. 15)
The CM106B can be used for a variety of applications. For meteorological
stations, sensors are mounted to the tripod using mounting brackets appropriate
for the model of sensor. For non-meteorological applications, the tripod can be
used to mount instrument enclosures, solar panels, junction boxes, or antennas.
