GROUNDING ROD
3. Approximately two feet from the tower
base, insert the grounding rod into the
earth until approx. six inches remain above
ground.
4. Attach a grounding wire to the tower base
with the provided clamp. Connect the other
end to the grounding rod, leaving enough
slack that the tower can be tipped down for
maintenance. If preferred, the ground rod
can be driven below the surface.
LIGHTNING ROD & MOUNT
5. Attach the lightning mount to the top of
the tower, just below the first horizontal
bar, using two u-bolts. Secure a short
grounding wire to one of the u-bolts and
then to an adjacent tower leg.
6. Install the Lightning Rod on the mount.
The top of the Lightning Rod should be
higher than the top of the Wind Sensor.
WIND SENSOR
7. Mount the one-inch extension pipe to the top of the tower, then attach the Wind Sensor to the
top of the extension pipe. See the Wind Sensor Alignment sheet to correctly align your Wind
Sensor (when the tower is upright).
TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY SENSORS
8. Attach the Temperature and Humidity Sensor assembly to the tower base two meters above
ground.
SOLAR RADIATION SENSOR
9. The solar radiation sensor should be installed on the
SOUTH*
side of the tower, slightly above the Temperature
and Humidity Sensor assembly, and in a manner so that it is never shaded by the tower or other sensors.
