Deploying the Tripod

Please read the complete installation instructions before proceeding.
1. Position the tripod base up (without legs) so the sensors
may be attached to the mast.
2. Slide the guy wire collar over the sensor mast allowing the
guy wires to hang.
3. Install the radiation shield. Do not tighten the nuts at this
time.
4. Install the wind sensor assembly on the top of the mast.
Align the North mark on the wind sensor alignment adapter
to the North mark on the mast and tighten the two set screws
using a 5/32" Allen wrench. By removing the socket head
screw in the alignment adapter, the sensor may be removed
and replaced without realignment.
