CM106K Tripod
3. General
The CM106K is a general purpose tripod that can be used for mounting
sensors, solar panels, antennas, and instrument enclosures. The CM106K is
constructed from galvanized steel, with individually adjustable legs that allow
installation over uneven terrain. Height of the mast is 10 ft (3m).
The CM106K includes the tripod body, feet, brackets, grounding clamps,
lightning rod, and mounting hardware. The remaining tripod components are
user-supplied (see Section 2 for part specifications).
An optional guy kit is recommended for sites that experience high wind speeds
(see Section 4, 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 2.8.
The CM106K 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.
