Overview
The CM106 is an adjustable tripod made of galvanized steel tubing. It is adjustable from 7 to 10 ft, so it replaces the 6 ft CM6 and the 10 ft CM10. It is also lighter than those tripods because it is made with tubing and they are made with pipe. The CM106 is a general purpose tripod that can be used for mounting sensors, solar panels, antennas, and instrument enclosures.
Key Advantages
Galvanized tubing is light, strong, and corrosion-resistant
Technical Description
The CM106 is constructed with individually adjusted legs that allow installation over uneven terrain. Height of the mast is 2.1 m (7 ft), or 3 m (10 ft) with the mast extended.
The CM106 includes lightning and grounding rods, grounding cables, UV resistant cable ties, and stakes for securing the tripod feet to the ground. An optional guy kit is recommended for sites that may experience high wind speeds. (See Allowable Wind Speeds in the Specifications.) Instrument enclosures can be purchased with mounting brackets that attach to either the mast or leg base.
The CM106 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 nonmeteorological applications, the tripod can be used to mount instrument enclosures, solar panels, junction boxes, or antennas.
| The CM106 replaced the CM6 and CM10 tripods. Improvements over the CM6/CM10 include using galvanized tubing instead of galvanized pipe which weighs less, and the ability to mount our enclosures on the CM106 leg base. |
