UT10

10-foot Instrumentation Tower

The UT10 is an aluminum, corrosion-resistant tower

that provides a 10-ft (3 m) crossarm height (see speci-

fications). This general-purpose tower supports the

attachment of sensors, mounts, solar panels, anten-

nas, and environmental enclosures. A lightning and

grounding rod, grounding cables, grounding cable

clamps, hinged base, anchor bolts, and UV-resistant

cable ties are included with the tower.

The UT10 is used as a sturdy, long-term instrument

mount for a variety of applications. It can be augmented

with mounts (e.g., CM204, CM220, CM225) that allow

attachment of meteorological sensors such as wind

sets, pyranometers, and temperature/relative humidity

probes. Other meteorological sensors such as barom-

eters, soil temperature and moisture probes, and rain

gages can also be used with a UT10-based station.

The National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) in Virginia uses a UT10 tower to support their meteorological sensors, solar panel, environmen-

tal enclosure, and antennas.
