HOBO Station Tri-pod Setup Guide

7.

 

Tighten the tri-clamp bolts by hand so that the mast is temporarily locked into position. 

Note:

 

The lower mast can rest on the ground at this time. You will adjust the height of the lower mast 
later. 

 

Figure 4: 

 

2 meter tripod - lower mast 

8.

 

Because the tripod for the 2 meter configuration has non-adjustable legs, you must verify that the 
mounting surface area is level. If it is not, use shims or remove soil as needed. You can attach the 
Post Level (Part # M-LVA) to the mast to verify that it is vertical as you level the surface. You 
can also use the tri-clamp bolts to fine tune the vertical adjustment later after you adjust the 
height of the mast. 

9.

 

Secure the tripod. Use either the ¼-inch diameter stake kit (Part # M-SKB) or bolt the tripod to 
cement pads with ¼-inch anchors. Install a stake or bolt through one of the holes on each of three 
tripod feet. 

10.

 

If site conditions (high winds, etc.) warrant further stabilization of the tripod, use the Guy Wire 
Kit (Part # M-GWA). See Task 7: Install Guy Wire Kit on page 19.
