2.4 Crossarm and Sensor Installation

Refer to Appendix C.2, Crossarm, for a labeled, exploded view of the

crossarm.

2.4.1 Components

(1) ET107 Crossarm with Sensors (see FIGURE 2-6)

(1) Met One 034B or Gill WindSonic Wind Sensor

(1) White Mounting Shaft for 034B or Gill WindSonic

(1) Gill Radiation Shield

2.4.2 Crossarm Installation

Adjust the bolts at the base of the pole to vertically level the top section of the

mounting pole. Install the ET107 Sensor Arm after the ET Enclosure is

mounted on the ET Tower. You may need to temporarily remove the

communications option. Mount the sensor arm as shown in FIGURE 2-8

without the wind sensor attached.

1) Remove the front lid and the protective connector cover from the back of

the ET enclosure by loosening the one Phillips screw at the bottom of the

cover.

2) Place the sensor arm on top of the enclosure, lining up the four threaded

holes on the under side of the arm with the four holes in the top of the

enclosure. Attach the arm to the enclosure by inserting and tightening four

Phillips head screws. Adjust the position of the ET Enclosure so that the

crossarm is oriented along a due north to due south axis with the rain gage

and solar radiation sensor (pyranometer) on the south side for northern

latitudes and the reverse for southern latitudes.
