Overview
The UTHD is a durable instrument tower that can be used in a variety of monitoring applications. The UTHD is an aluminum, corrosion-resistant instrumentation tower with four tower height options and high wind load ratings at user-selectable tower heights.
Data logger and power supply enclosures, solar panel(s), crossams, and other meteorological instrumentation mount to the tower legs. An optional Sun Tracker Mount provides a sturdy platform at the top of the UTHD for permanent deployment of a precision Sun Tracker for advanced solar resource assessment and power performance monitoring. This optional mount works with Sun Trackers such as Kipp & Zonen (Solys2) or EKO Instruments (STR-21G or STR-22G).
Benefits
- User-selectable height options
- Sturdy, long-term instrument mount with robust mounting option for industry standard Sun Trackers
- Higher wind load rating than the UT10, UT20, or UT30 towers
- Wider legs to enable mounting standard Campbell Scientific mounting equipment
- Top portion ends without traditional triangle connections and a mast

Concrete pad requirements assume heavy soil; light, shifting, or sandy soils require a larger concrete pad. - -NOTE-
- Allowable wind gust specifications were calculated with the following:
one enclosure, two crossarms mounted with two CM210 crossarm mounts each (one crossarm with a wind monitor, the other crossarm with two pyranometers), and B-18 anchors used to secure the stand to the ground. In addition, the concrete footing has a 91.4 cm (36 in.) length, a 91.4 cm (36 in.) width, and a 122 cm (48 in.) depth.

Common Accessories
(3)UTBASE
Base Kit for UT20/UT30
The UTSOLART requires a mounting base kit. The UTBASE is one option. The UTBASE eliminates the need for you to install bolts in part of the tower section, as you only need to install bolts in the concrete. By using the template, you can ensure that the bolt spacing is initially correct and maintained while the concrete cures. In addition, the template allows room for you to embed conduit in the concrete if desired. You can also adjust the UTBASE after the concrete has cured to ensure that the tower is true/plumb.
