5. Overview
The UT20/UT30 tower is a versatile mount for sensors, antennas, solar panels,
environmental enclosures, radiation shields, and mounting crossarms. Its 6 m
(20 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) height allows for wind measurements at that height.
The tower consists of 2.5 cm (1 in) OD corrosion-resistant aluminum tubing. It
includes an adjustable mast, a hinged base, anchor bolts, lightning rod,
grounding rod, and cable tie kit.
Enclosures purchased for use with this tower must be ordered with the “-TM”
option. This will provide the necessary bracketing to mount the enclosure to
the tower.
