Overview

The CM106B is an adjustable tripod made of galvanized steel tubing. It is adjustable from 7 to 10 ft. Because the CM106B is made from tubing, it is lighter than our older tripods (CM6 and CM10), which are made with pipe. The CM106B is a general-purpose tripod designed for permanent or temporary installations. It can be used for mounting sensors, solar panels, antennas, and instrument enclosures.

The CM106B can ordered with an optional black powder-coated finish. This finish helps with reflections when using the CM106B to mount solar radiation sensors or other light-sensitive sensors.

Key Advantages

Adjustable, Rugged
Galvanized tubing is strong and corrosion-resistant

Technical Description

The CM106B 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 CM106B 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 CM106B 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.

Product Notes

Order the black finish option to avoid reflections off the structure.

Enclosure Brackets

Mast

The “-MM” mount option for our environmental enclosures is intended for mounting the enclosure to a tripod's mast. An enclosure ordered with this option will be shipped with a three-piece bracket mounted to the top of the enclosure and an identical three-piece bracket mounted to the bottom of the enclosure.

Leg Base

All of our standard enclosures (including the ENC16/18) can be mounted to the CM106's leg base. The "-LM" mount option for our environmental enclosures allows the enclosure to be attached to the leg base of the CM106. This option includes a metal flange, two brackets, and a 2.5" u-bolt. The brackets attach to the right and left side of the enclosure, and the flange attaches to the tripod near the mast. The flange fits into a notch in one of the brackets, and the other bracket connects to a tripod leg via the u-bolt.
