Installation of the Mast
IMPORTANT: Ensure that all mounting brackets and mast components meet the local
building codes and work with the installation site you have chosen.
Properly securing the mounting brackets and mast is critical for a successful installation.
The mounts must withstand harsh environments, including high winds. When determining
the appropriate mounting brackets for your installation, consider the following:
• Building material to which you will be mounting the mast (e.g., brick, block, siding,
etc.)
• Roof overhang (mounting brackets must be placed so that the mast clears the roof)
Secure the brackets to the building as shown in Typical Building Mount, page 21. Install the
bottom mounting bracket in vertical alignment with the top bracket. The mast must be
completely vertical. Ensuring vertical alignment is critical for accurate sensor measurements
once the installation is complete and the station is up and running.
