CM106BK Tripod Kit
3. General
The CM106BK is a general purpose tripod that can be used for mounting
sensors, solar panels, antennas, and instrument enclosures. The CM106BK is
constructed from galvanized steel, with individually adjustable legs that allow
installation over uneven terrain. Height of the mast is 3 m (10 ft).
The CM106BK includes the tripod body, feet, brackets, grounding clamps,
lightning rod, and mounting hardware. The remaining tripod components are
user-supplied (see Section 2, Tripod Installation, for part specifications).
An optional guy kit is recommended for sites that experience high wind speeds
(see Allowable Wind Speed Specifications in Section 4, Specifications).
Instrument enclosures can be purchased with mounting brackets that attach to
either the mast or leg section as shown in Section 2.8, Enclosure Attachment.
The CM106BK can be used for a variety of applications. For meteorological
stations, sensors are mounted to the tripod using mounting brackets appropriate
for the model of sensor. For non-meteorological applications the tripod can be
used to mount instrument enclosures, solar panels, junction boxes, or antennas.
