6 Installation
CAUTION
There is danger of mechanical damage!
The owner/operator of the CHM 15k will be responsible for dimensioning
and manufacturing a concrete base. This mounting base must be properly
sized to withstand the lasting strain that is caused by the equipment's
own weight and by external influences.
CAUTION
There is danger of mechanical damage!
The device must not be opened during work for setting up or starting up,
in order to prevent the penetration of dirt or humidity. If opening
becomes necessary, e.g. following a malfunction, work of this kind may
only be performed by duly instructed personnel.
The CHM 15k Cloud Height Meter is assembled and fixed on a suitably sized
concrete foundation.
Levelling screws are integrated with the bottom of the support legs to allow for
vertical adjustment and, hence, vertical adjustment of the measuring unit.
