4. Align the tower so the openings in the mounting feet are angled in one of the positions
shown in
(p. 15). Images A and B show the recommended placement when a
solar panel is to be mounted to the tower. This positioning allows a solar panel to be firmly
attached to two tower legs while providing easy access to sensors at the top of the tower.
Image C shows the tower section positioned to allow the tower to tilt toward the equator.
Image D is used when it is necessary to mount a crossarm running perpendicular to the
equator for precision pyranometer measurements.
FIGURE 7-7. Mounting feet orientation
Align the hole in the bottom of each mounting foot with one of the J-bolts in the concrete
base. Slide the tower onto the J-bolts.
