Introduction

The sensor mounting arm is used to mount wind sensors off of a tubular tower so they can be in free flowing air. The arm holds the sensors over three feet away from the tower.

Features

  • Heavy duty construction
  • 18 gauge steel tube and 1/8" thick steel mounting plate
  • Powder coated to resist rust
  • Stainless steel hardware
  • Precision laser cut mounting plates
  • Anti-vibration "nylock" lock nuts
  • Accommodates towers and masts with pipe sizes 1.5" to 4" (2" to 4.5" measured outer diameter)

Kit Mounting Arm

The mounting arm is provided in an unassembled form to save you shipping costs. Assembly is straight forward and will take most users less than 30 minutes. The kit includes a 5/32" hex (Allen) wrench. The only other tool needed for assembly is an adjustable spanner (Crescent wrench), however we recommend that you have an SAE socket set.
