6.5 Mounting more than one enclosure on a
tripod leg
It is possible to mount two enclosures back-to-back on most current Campbell Scientific tripods.
If the enclosures are different sizes, mount the smaller enclosure first, followed by the larger
enclosure. If the enclosures are the same size, use two 5/16-18 x 3.5 inch bolts in place of U-bolts
to anchor the two enclosures together.

6.6 Pole mount
The “–PM” mount option is intended for mounting an enclosure to a vertical pole. An enclosure
ordered with this option will be shipped with brackets, metal bands, and mounting hardware
needed to secure the enclosure. The metal bands are routed through the brackets, and then
around a vertical pole. They are anchored in place using screw clamps.
Attach the enclosure to a vertical tube as follows:
1. Position a bracket at the top of the enclosure as shown in
(p. 22). Secure it
with a bolt, washer, and locknut at each end. Attach the lower bracket in the same manner,
rotating the bracket so it extends below the enclosure.
