5.3.2 Tower Installation
After the tilt base is installed, the rest of the tower can be assembled and positioned. First install the
mast on the top most section. Then slide the three tower legs into the sleeves of the base. Level the
tower by adjusting the leveling bolts (see more details in page 2-2 of the UT10 manual).

next to the base of the tower (about half a meter away) using a sledgehammer. At most, t

. Attach one end of the
ground cable (4 AWG wire) to the rod and then route the cable and attach to the tower leg using the
clamp. Route the green (12 AWG) wire upwards to where the instrument enclosure will be installed
(see more details in page 2-3 of the UT10 manual). See Sections 5.7 for details on grounding the
enclosure and the data logger.

The data logger (CR1000) should be installed in a weather resistant enclosure that is
attached to the side of the tower (ENC 14/16). First install the data logger into the enclosure and then
attach the enclosure to the tower. The data logger should be mounted about 15 cm from the bottom of
the enclosure and secured to the backplate with 4 screws. This should leave plenty of space below the
data logger for the incoming cables from the sensors and power source as well as the ground cable.
The enclosure can be mounted to the side of the tower by using the attached mounting brackets.
Mount the enclosure at about eye level to facilitate access to it (see more detailed instructions in page
3-1 of the UT10 manual).
NNoottee:: Before installing the base, you will need to remove the top part of the tower by
loosening the bolts on the base. D

because it will be very difficult and the weight may cause the
tower base to sink too far into the concrete.
