Page 6: Introduction
1. Introduction The UT6 and UT10 are durable, lightweight instrument towers used for a variety of applications. They support a 1.8 m (6 ft) or 3 m (10 ft) measurement height for wind sensors as well as sturdy attachment points for antennas, solar panels, environmental enclosures, radiation shields, and crossarms. -

Position the height of the opening as low as possible, but high enough to avoid splashing from the ground. Wind shields, such as Campbell Scientific 260 953 Alter-Type Rain Gage Wind Screen, are recommended for open areas. -
Page 11: Soil Temperature
The UT6 and UT10 towers provide a versatile mount for sensors, antennas, solar panels, environmental enclosures, radiation shields, and mounting crossarms. The 2m (6 ft) height of the UT6 and 3m (10 ft) height of the UT10 allows for wind measurements at each height. The main tower frame (FIGURE 5-1 (p. - Page 12 FIGURE 5-1.

2 square feet. The amount of wind load that this mount can withstand is affected by the quality of anchoring and installation, soil type, and the number, type, and location of instruments fastened to the tower. UT6 and UT10 Universal Towers... -
Page 14: Tower Installation
The tower provides a support structure for mounting the weather station components. FIGURE 7- (p. 9) shows a typical tower equipped with an instrumentation enclosure, meteorological sensors, and a solar panel. FIGURE 7-1. Weather tower UT6 and UT10 Universal Towers... -
Page 15: Base Installation
CAUTION: It is common for air to be trapped behind the knee portion of a J-bolt. Use a stick or rod to stir and tamp around each J-bolt to ensure proper anchoring. UT6 and UT10 Universal Towers... -
Page 16: Tower Installation
Loosen the two bolts at the top of the tower and insert the mast. For the UT6 at a 1.8 m mounting height, or the UT10 at 3 m, rest the bell reducer against the top of the tower. Tighten the two bolts to secure the mast. - Page 17 FIGURE 7-4. Install the mast 2. Remove the three 5/16-inch bolts, nuts, and fender washers from the tower mounting brace (FIGURE 7-5 (p. 13)). 3. Pivot the three mounting feet to the vertical position. UT6 and UT10 Universal Towers...
- Page 18 Align the hole in the bottom of each mounting foot with one of the J-bolts in the concrete base. Slide the tower onto the J-bolts. 5. Place a 5/8-inch flat washer, a 5/8-inch split washer, and a 5/8-inch nut on each J-bolt. Do not tighten the nut (FIGURE 7-6 (p. 14)). UT6 and UT10 Universal Towers...
- Page 19 6. Check the tower for plumb using a level and adjust the leveling nuts below the mounting feet on the J-bolts as required. When the tower is plumb, use two wrenches to lock the lower nuts on each J-bolt together. Tighten the upper nuts to secure the base. UT6 and UT10 Universal Towers...

(p. 18). Loosen the two screws on the lightning rod mounting bracket. Position the mounting bracket 2 inches down from the top of the mast and tighten both screws evenly. Make sure the lightning rod set screw is tight. UT6 and UT10 Universal Towers... -
Page 23: Crossarms And Mounting Brackets
Mounting sensors on a crossarm allows the sensor to be moved away from the midline of the tower, reducing the effects of the mount on the sensor measurement. Campbell Scientific provides a variety of lengths in aluminum or stainless steel. Table 7-1 (p. 19) shows the different lengths available. -
