5. Overview
The UT10 tower is a versatile mount for sensors, antennas, solar panels,
environmental enclosures, radiation shields, and mounting crossarms. Its 3 m
(10 ft) height allows for wind measurements at that height.
The tower consists of 2.5 cm (1 in.) OD corrosion-resistant aluminum tubing.
In cross-section, it is 25.7 cm (10.1 in.) on a side (center of tubing to center of
tubing). It includes an adjustable mast, a hinged base, anchor bolts, lightning
rod, grounding rod, and cable tie kit.
Enclosures purchased for use with this tower must be ordered with the
“-TM” option. This will provide the necessary bracketing to mount the
enclosure to the tower.
