TB4, TB4MM, CS700, and CS700H Tipping Bucket Rain Gages
11
Campbell Scientific offers the CM240 mounting bracket for installing and
leveling the rain gages. The CM240 may be attached to a CM300-Series
mounting pole or to a user-supplied 1.5 in. IPS (1.9 in. OD) unthreaded pipe.
The pole or pipe can be placed directly into a concrete foundation (FIGURE
), or attached to a concrete foundation using J-bolts or self-supporting with
legs (FIGURE
). A concrete pad is recommended, but it should not be
installed over large paved or concrete surface.
