Attach the CM202 (0.6 m, 2 ft), CM204 (1.2 m, 4 ft), or CM206 (1.8 m, 6 ft)
crossarm to the tripod mast as shown in FIGURE
. For wind sensors, the
crossarm should be approximately 2.6 m (103 in) above the ground for a 3 m
mounting height, or 1.6 m (64 in) for a 2 m mounting height. Typically, the
crossarm is oriented East/West for wind sensors, North/South for
pyranometers.

can be mounted to the tripod mast (above the legs) with the –MM Mast Mount
