CM300-Series Mounting Poles 1. Overview

The CM300-series mounting poles provide a stainless steel 1.5 IPS vertical pole for mounting sensors, enclosures, or other instrumentation. Pole length is 58 cm (23 in), 119 cm (47 in), or 142 cm (56 in) for the CM300, CM305, and CM310 models, respectively.

Mounting poles are placed directly into a concrete foundation, attached to a concrete foundation with the Pedestal J-Bolt Kit option, mounted to a vertical post with the CM345, or are self-supporting with the Pedestal Leg options (FIGURES 1-1, 3-1, 3-4, 3-6, 3-9). A vinyl cap prevents precipitation from entering through the top of the pole.

3.3 CM300-Series Mounting Pole with Pedestal J-Bolt Kit A CM300-series pole with the Pedestal J-Bolt Kit option is used for permanent installations where there is a need to periodically plumb the pole. J-bolts are installed in a concrete foundation by using the template provided with the kit. The template positions the J-bolts in the 15.25 cm (6 in) diameter circle required by the pedestal.

Construct a form 36 cm (14 in) square (inside dimensions) from 38 x 89 mm (2 x 4 in) precut lumber. Cut two additional 46 cm (18 in) boards from the 38 x 89 mm (2 x 4 in) precut lumber.

Dig a hole 36 x 36 x 60 cm (14 x 14 x 24 in) deep. Depth should exceed typical frost level. Center, and level the form over the hole.

Thread two nuts onto each J-bolt, leaving 2.5 cm (1 in) of thread visible between the nuts and end of the J-bolt. Attach the J-bolts to the template with another nut. Angle each J-bolt so it points away from the center of the template.

Place the two 46 cm (18 in) pieces of lumber over the form, leaving room for the J-bolts. Lower the J-bolts into the hole until the template comes to rest on the 46 cm (18 in) boards. Optional: Use wood screws to anchor the template to the two 46 cm (18 in) boards.

Fill the hole and form with concrete.

FIGURE 3-3. Base Embedded in Concrete

Remove the template after the concrete has cured. Leave the two nuts below the template on each J-bolt in place. Insert the pole into the pedestal, and tighten the six bolts evenly.

3.4 CM300-Series Mounting Pole with Pedestal Legs A CM300-series pole with a Pedestal Leg option is used for temporary installations or for applications where a concrete foundation is not an option. The 58 cm (23 in) Pedestal Legs are adequate for most applications. The 99 cm (39 in) Pedestal Legs provide additional stability for applications where the feet cannot be secured (for example, to the surface of a roof), for extended poles, or for locations with high winds.

Each leg attaches to the pedestal base with an adjustable bolt and quick release pin. The pedestal base has a set of six holes for each leg. The angle of the legs, and resultant pedestal height, is determined by which hole the quick release pin is placed through (see TABLE 3-1).
