3. Installation
3.1 Initial Setup
The Detcon tripod (P/N 975-TRIPOD-100) provides a stable and mobile base for the SmartWireless® CX
Sensor Station. A maximum of two sensors can be secured to the tripod using Detcon brackets (P/N 943-
004413-000) installed on the tripod.
1. Unpack the tripod, open the legs and place on a level surface. The tripod must have the 3 legs
extended to widest position possible and be locked in place. The tripod must be firmly located on
level terrain or this is an extreme safety risk of the unit tipping over and causing personnel harm or
equipment damage. As is possible, the points of the tripod legs should be equally plunged into the
ground to make the tripod most firmly stabilized.
CAUTION
The tripod must have the 3 legs extended to widest position possible and be locked
in place. It then shall be firmly located on level terrain or there is an extreme safety
risk of the unit tipping over and causing personnel harm and/or equipment damage.
2. Mount the CX Sensor Station to the center pipe using the supplied U-bolts in accordance with
Figure 9. The height position should be about 4-5 feet maximum to minimize tip-over potential.
The U-bolts should be thoroughly tightened such that there is no vertical slide of the controller up
or down the tripod center pipe. If it slides it may be a safety issue related to personnel injury.
CAUTION
The installed height position should be 4-5 feet maximum to minimize tip-over
potential. The U-bolts should be thoroughly tightened so there is no chance for
vertical slide of the controller up or down the tripod center pipe. If it slides
unexpectedly it is a safety issue related to personnel injury and/or tipping over.
NOTE
Position the CX controller on the tripod and position the tripod such that all disconnecting
devices are readily accessible.
3. Install the 8" antenna on the antenna connector on the top right of the CX Sensor Station (Figure 1).
4. Secure the antenna cover over the antenna.
5. If sensors are being mounted on the tripod legs, attach the sensor mounting brackets to the tripod
legs using the supplied 1/4" bolts, nuts and lock washers in accordance with Figure 10.
