NR-LITE2 Net Radiometer
4.2 Mounting
The mounting bracket kit, pn 26120, is used to mount the NR-LITE2 directly
to a vertical pipe, or to a CM202, CM204, or CM206 crossarm. Mount the
sensor as follows:
1. Screw in the bird repellent stick, which is shipped with the calibration
documentation (4 in FIGURE 4-1).
2. Attach the 26120 mounting bracket to the vertical mounting pipe, or
CM200-series crossarm using the provided U-bolt (FIGURE 4-2).
3. Insert the sensor’s support arm into the mounting block of the mounting
bracket kit. Make sure the sensor points in the direction of the arrows that
appear after the word SENSOR on top of the bracket (FIGURE 4-2).
4. Perform a coarse leveling of the sensor using the sensor’s bubble level (5
in FIGURE 4-1).
5. Tighten the four screws on top of the mounting bracket to properly secure
the support arm so that it does not rotate (FIGURE 4-2).
Do not attempt to rotate the instrument using the sensor
head or you may damage the sensor — use the support
arm only. CAUTION
6. Perform the fine leveling using the two spring-loaded leveling screws—
one on the front and the other on the back of the bracket (FIGURE 4-2).
7. Route the sensor cable to the instrument enclosure.
8. Use cable ties to secure the cable to the vertical pipe or crossarm and
tripod/tower.
