Technical Description
The CM106B includes lightning and grounding rods, grounding
cables, UV resistant cable ties, the 30338 mast extension kit, and
stakes for securing the tripod feet to the ground. An optional
guy kit is recommended for sites that may experience high wind
speeds. Instrument enclosures can be purchased with mounting
brackets that attach to either the mast or leg base.
The CM106B can be used for a variety of applications. For me-
teorological 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.
