Mounting On Pole; Sun Shielding - Simtronics GD1 MK3 Operating Manual

2.3.1.

Mounting on pole

If the detector is mounted on a pole/pipe, it is important that the pole/pipe is structurally
rigid enough that the detector will not move out of its alignment tolerances. When
choosing pole diameter, one must account for mounting height. Simtronics recommends
that for a mounting height of 2m, minimum Ø 3" (75 mm) pole is used for sufficient rigidity.
If mounting height is increased, pole/pipe diameter should increase accordingly.
2.4.

Sun shielding

The transmitter and receiver are fitted with a
sun shield as standard.
In locations where there is a risk that the
temperatures can exceed the certified limits for
the ambient temperature, a canopy can be
mounted above the detector for additional sun
shielding.
It is not recommended to store a GD1 for a long
time un-powered outside in a hot environment.
If the detector is stored unpowered in high
temperatures for several months, it might lead
to settings needing adjustment.
