7. Attachment to an Instrument Mount
7.1 Tripod Mast
The mast mount option is intended for mounting our enclosures to the mast of any
of our tripods. An enclosure ordered with this option will be shipped with a three-
piece bracket for mounting on the top of the enclosure and an identical three-piece
bracket for mounting to the bottom of the enclosure (see Figures 7-1,
7-2, and 7-3).
Attach the enclosure to the mast as follows:
1.
Position the enclosure on the north side of the mast.
2.
Use the furnished 62 mm centre u-bolts to secure the enclosure to the tripod
mast.
3.
Route the 14 AWG wire from the brass tripod grounding clamp to the
enclosure grounding lug. Strip one inch of insulation from each end of the
wire and insert the end of the wire into the grounding lugs and tighten.

to a tripod mast via u-bolts.
