Remove the three (3) “top” nuts and flat
washers from the anchor bolts at the
weather station template. Next remove
the metal template - slipping it up over
the cables that are extending from the
1 ½’ long sweep elbow. Be careful
NOT to damage the cables or the
connectors on the cables.
Take the lower section (with the base
attached) of the weather station tower
and feed, from the base end, the power
cable (P/N 9922) up through this section.
Also feed, from the base end, the short
haul communication cable (P/N 9720 -
for the Model JR-SH weather station) or
the telephone communication patch
cable (P/N 9661 - for the Model JR-PH
weather station, up through this section
of the tower. Finally feed the ground
wire up through the lower section of the
tower.
Lay this Lower Section of the tower, on
the ground, next to the concrete base,
with the cables extending out the top of
the tower section.
Take the Upper Section of the tower (the
tapered section) and position it above the
lower section on the ground. Feed the
cables, coming from the lower section,
up through the upper section of the
tower. Secure the cables at the top of
the upper section with tape, so that they
cannot pull back down into the tower as
you assemble the two tower sections.
Now assemble the upper tower section
to lower tower section, being careful
NOT to damage the cables as you do so.
IMPORTANT ! Be sure that you have
everything in proper order BEFORE
you assemble the two tower sections
together -because once assembled they
cannot be taken apart.
Place one of the flat washers on top of
the two (2) nuts on each of the anchor
bolts. Raise the tower and position the
base on the three (3) anchor bolts that
have been embedded in the poured
concrete base. Be careful NOT to
damage the cables in doing so. Next
install a flat washer and a nut on each of
the bolts and hand tighten the nuts just
enough to hold the tower in position.
Next check the level of the tower by
placing a level on the north and east
sides of the lower tower base. Adjust
the topmost nut of the two (2) lower nuts
(leveling nuts) on each bolt, as
necessary to level the base. When level
is established, lock the leveling nut in
place by tightening the lowest nut
against it. Tighten the three top nuts
with a wrench to secure the tower to the
base. The tower should now be ready
for the final assembly of the Enclosure,
Sensors and Lightning Rod, etc.
