4. Remove the template.
5. Follow the ET Station Pole Assembly Instructions
(
https://s.campbellsci.com/documents/us/manuals/et-station-pole-assembly-guide.pdf
) to
secure the top and base pole sections by using the self-drilling screw provided with the
pole assembly.
6. Cut and save a 23 cm (9 in) piece of 10 AWG ground wire, which will be used to attach the
enclosure ground to the lightning rod assembly.
7. Thread the communication cable, power cable with connector ends of cable out the top of
pole, and grounding wire through the pole and conduit. Electrical fish tape will help. Leave
approximately 1 m (2 ft) of the supplied power and communication cable hanging out of
the top of the pole. Secure all wiring so it doesn’t slip back down through the pole.
NOTE:
Solar panel and radio frequency (RF) options will not have power or communication
cables.
8. Place the white pole cap over the pole end.
9. Raise the pole on a still day.
10. Place a washer on top of the two nuts on each foundation bolt.
11. Taking care not to damage cables between the pole and conduit, raise the pole and lower
it onto the conduit and mounting bolts.
12. Install a washer and nut on each bolt and hand tighten. Check plumb of the pole by
placing a level on the north and east sides of the lower pole section.
13. Adjust the topmost of the two lower nuts (leveling nut) on each bolt as necessary.
14. When plumb is established, lock the leveling nut in place by tightening the lowest nut
against it.
15. Tighten the three top nuts with the wrench.
