5.2.2 Mounting Angle
First, the mounting angle (with or without housing) should be fastened at the mast. Because of the
shading effect of the mast the angle is to be mounted at the highest possible place. Align the angle
to the south acc. to
Figure 10 (
±
10°, Northern hemisphere), and fasten it at the top of the mast. It
is advisable to have a second person holding the Laser Precipitation Monitor during the mounting.
In case no second person is available, it is also possible to separate the mounting angle from the
Laser Precipitation Monitor (2 nuts M6 below, 2 screws above [accessible after removing the
housing cover).
Does only apply to the models with supply 115 VAC/230 VAC:
In case an electro-conductive mast is used, the straps should be fastened directly, i.e. without
insulator. If the mast is not electro-conductive, a potential equalisation should be established
between ambiance (for ex. fundament) and sensor by means of a cable (>6mm²).
1. Cut 2 pieces of the necessary length off the strap (1 meter) acc. to the table below.
2. Insert the strap into the housing from the screw head side, and bend a projection of 20 mm
over the ridge (Figure 9).
3. Put the free end of the prepared clamp around the mast and the mounting angle, and screw
it on (Figure 10).
4. 2 Straps are provided for each mounting angle.
