1. CM106 Tripod
1.1. General
The CM106 is a general purpose tripod that can be used for mounting sensors,
solar panels, antennas, and instrument enclosures. The CM106 is constructed
from galvanized steel, with individually adjustable legs that allow installation
over uneven terrain. Height of the mast is 7 ft (2.1 m), or 10 ft (3 m) with the
mast extension.
The CM106 includes lightning and grounding rods, grounding cables, UV
resistant cable ties, and stakes for securing the tripod feet to the ground. An
optional guy kit is recommended for sites that experience high wind speeds
(see Section
1.2, Allowable Wind Speed Specifications). Instrument enclosures
can be purchased with mounting brackets that attach to either the mast or leg
section as shown in Section
1.5.7.
The CM106 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.
