5.
Raise the sensor to the desired height on the mast.
6.
Use the wrench to tighten the hex nuts until the sensor is
firmly fastened on the mast. Do not overtighten the hex
nuts.

Mounting on a Tripod Cross Arm
Follow these instructions for mounting the sensor on a cross
arm.
1.
Attach the cross arm to the mast before installing the
sensor.
2.
Connect the battery if you haven’t already done so (see
Connecting the Sensor Battery
).
3.
Use a 10 mm wrench to install two hex nuts at the base of
the threaded end of the U-bolts as shown. Tighten the hex
nuts all the way down to the end of the threads. Repeat
with the other U-bolt.
4.
Insert the threaded bolt end through the hole in the bracket
so that the bracket rests on top of the hex nut with the flat
end facing out. Place a spacer on top of the bracket as
shown below. Repeat for the other threaded bolt end and
for both ends of the other U-bolt.
5.
Insert both bolt assemblies through the bottom of the
mounting base and secure with finger-tightened lock nuts.
6.
Slide the assembly above over the end of the cross arm as
shown below. Make sure the hole in the cross arm is
centered on the sensor mounting base as shown.
7.
Make sure the cross arm is flush against the top spacer. The
spacer and threaded bolts should be flush against the top of
the bracket holes. Tighten the locknuts with a wrench. Do
not overtighten them.
